Description of Supplemental Outreach Intiatives

Sponsorship of Community Event. On an on-going basis, the WILL Stations work with faculty at
University High School in Urbana, Illinois to develop an oral history curriculum to train
students, including minorities, in the basics of audio production and journalism. Each year,
the students produce a documentary that is broadcast on WILL Radio, and a few have chosen to
major in journalism at the college level.

Sponsorship of Community Event. The WILL Stations have developed a community outreach
initiative, designed specifically to reach young minorities, with assistance from a member of
the faculty at the University of Illinois. Dr. Will Patterson is co-director of the project
with WILL's Kimberlie Kranich. The Youth Media Workshop is a collaboration between public
radio station, WILL-AM 580, and Innovative Ed. Consulting, Inc., an educational programming,
multimedia marketing and action research company. The workshop partners with public schools in
Champaign-Urbana, Illinois to teach African-American youth how to make radio and television
documentaries that link their generation, the hip-hop generation, to the civil rights and
black power generations. Middle school age female minority students put together a radio
documentary each year. The students learn about basic audio production and receive
instruction in newswriting from WILL's professional staff. (Audio access to the most recent
production is available at: http://www.will.uiuc.edu/FranklinSite05/index.html.

African-American male students from Urbana High School worked with WILL-TV and the Youth
Media Workshop on video productions. Information available at http://will.uiuc.edu/community/youthmediaworkshop/drumcorps.htm and http://will.uiuc.edu/community/youthmediaworkshop/beyondbeatsandrhymeslocal.htm.

Establishment of Training Program. Station WILL-TV hires minority trainees, with little or no
experience in television production, and teaches them the rudiments of camera operation and
studio production. The young people involved in this program are provided with skills that
can qualify them for higher level, full-time, positions in broadcasting.
