Next Gen Journalism is now taking applications for our 2026 projects!

We will remain an audio-focused professional development project, but we are expanding our reach. We have already rebranded (slightly) and are creating an independent nonprofit that will include a business incorporation and a fiscal sponsorship.
This is year 26 for us.
Since 2013, we have grown into a broad media- and journalism-focused community that includes 526 alumni from the 93 sprints we have produced over the past 13 years.
If interested, visit www.nextgenradio.org to access the online application and all the information you need, including our tentative schedule and locations.

Yes, the name change was intentional, and our commitment to non-profit public service is strong.

Until next time.

Always a kind word and lots of energy and handing over what he knew to younger folks.
