Follow on Google News | Transom (Atlantic Public Media) Awards Teen Radio ProducersTransom, a non-profit group administered by Atlantic Public Media, has awarded $1,000, production guidance, and exposure to the teenage radio production staff of Open Orchard Productions.
Transom (administered by Atlantic Public Media) is a non-profit group run out of Woods Hole, MA, that offers training and mentorship to benefit public radio broadcasting. They chose Open Orchard Productions to win a $1,000 grant as well as the guidance to create three unique pieces for their publication and broadcast. After working for months together, the resulting radio pieces and web page launched today. Veteran radio journalists, Viki Merrick and Samantha Broun from Transom, paired up with the three Open Orchard team members to identify pursuable storylines, elicit sincere responses, guide narration, and polish editing. Positive responses have already come from PRX and various radio stations across the country. Open Orchard Productions (www.openorchardproductions.org) began 1 ½ years ago when a group of 5 high school juniors came together to create and brand a website, elicit sponsorship, learn radio journalism, and promote themselves. Today, the team consists of 15 members and produces 4 categories of programs: The Core (devoted to teens interviewing teens), The Elements (uncovering influencers among us), The Harvest (experimental), and Fresh Picked (upcoming artists). Radio segments have been licensed for publication by WAMC in New York, KRZA in New Mexico, KBRP in Arizona, KZYX in Northern California. “One Step at a Time,” produced by Connor Parker—was also bought by Public Radio Remix and was named one of Generation PRX’s Top Youth-Produced Podcasts of 2012.
