For some, scrolling through social media or turning on the news may reveal a bleak outlook on the state of the world: Climate change is leaving its indelible mark on the earth, buying a house doesn’t cost three hay pennies and a cow anymore \u003cem>(**for journalistic purposes, this is a hyperbolic joke**)\u003c/em>, and the horizon of a new, yet familiar, presidency may make you feel uncertain. As important as it is to be realistic with the present, the same can be said for holding optimism for the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here on KQED’s Youth Media Team – a small but mighty team of two, composed of Youth Media Digital Producer / Program Manager \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/amandavigil\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amanda Vigil\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Youth Media Specialist \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/cheyennebearfoot\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheyenne Bearfoot \u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(That’s me!) – we see the future every day. We sit down and have conversations with it regularly. The future is Youth Media Makers. We believe that the diverse ideas, opinions and perspectives of young people should and must be represented in public broadcasting because oftentimes their voices go unheard – especially on topics being publicly debated related to our collective futures.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the work we aim to support and are so thrilled to share with you in our first-ever quarterly blog. We’re covering some exciting new broadcast partnership opportunities, giving a behind-the-scenes look at how youth-produced media goes from ideation to broadcast, celebrating our Youth Advisory Board (YAB) alumni and glimpsing into our collective future.

Although eight whole seasons seems like a long time, think back to what grade you were in at eight years old. That’s \u003cem>third \u003c/em>grade! All that’s to say, we’re still learning and growing. One of those areas of growth is our \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/education/538388/2024-25-youth-takeover-teachers\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Youth Takeover (YTO) Teacher Cohort\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This year, we’re welcoming sixteen educators from twelve school sites across the Bay Area. For the first time ever, Solano County (Rodriguez High School) is represented – a major win – in addition to some returning folks! We have a goal-turned-mantra we like to say on the team: nine-for-nine.

Each of them represents a facet of what makes Northern California unique, and we want that as part of our program’s cross-section. This year we’re at 7/9 – but we’re remaining hopeful that Season Nine is the year we recruit full representation!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers and students are our VIPs, so it’s one of our top priorities to ensure that they feel supported and well taken care of. One of the ways we do this is through our annual kickoff meeting at KQED, a social opportunity to present this year’s program offerings. Watching all faces both familiar and new filing into the space at this year’s kick off; seeing teachers delighting in the little things like forging a new connection or absorbing the timeline of our historical photo wall; devouring scrumptious Goat Hill Pizza (quite possibly the hidden sixth food group if you ask anyone at the Q); and marveling at the production spaces–really uplifts the importance of holding space for our partners. For them, showcasing this behind-the-scenes look at how all the magic happens to bring content to KQED’s audiences perfectly highlights how very real this opportunity is for them and for their students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_538504\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-538504 size-medium\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2025/01/KQED-Youth-Takeover-Project-Pitching-111424_17-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amanda Vigil (top right) and Cheyenne Bearfoot (bottom right) join Edward Hill (left) at Skyline High School to facilitate a pitch review session.

The most interesting thing to me is investigative journalism, and how people can try to find the truth for the betterment of everyone. KQED is one of the biggest radio stations out there. The chance to learn from the best is an opportunity I would never turn down. I may never grow up to work in the news industry but the skills a journalist has are skills that would help in any field.

In the simplest forms — via social media — youth voices can be some of the most influential. As someone who hopes to build a successful career in journalism amidst the changing media landscape, the skills honed by this experience would be invaluable. Communication, story pitching, and team-building are all critical skills for me to foster to thrive in a news environment. I believe that the Youth Advisory Board would play a significant role in building these skills and prepping me for a future in journalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-538436 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/12/anaya-160x215.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/12/anaya-160x215.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/12/anaya.png 490w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" />\u003cb>Anaya Ertz (Marin):\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve come to view journalism as a kind of call and response: there’s a story “calling” out to be told, and it’s a journalist’s responsibility to respond by creating and sharing that story.

At KQED I hope to learn about the different fields in media and how each one works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-538447 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/12/treasure-e1733867990690-160x179.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/12/treasure-e1733867990690-160x179.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2024/12/treasure-e1733867990690.png 248w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" />\u003cb>Aghedo Treasure (Alameda):\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although I am in my junior year of high school, I am still uncertain on what I wish to do later in my life.

Yet I was hesitant to share my own stories. How could a teenager’s ideas have any impact? At least, that’s what I told myself.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2021, cases of COVID-19 skyrocketed, and so did reports of anti-Asian violence. Seeing the fear of my community reflected in these news stories, I knew I had to speak up in some way. But how? While people were out in the streets protesting racial injustice, I was quarantined in my bedroom, drifting aimlessly from one Zoom call to another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While I may have felt helpless, I certainly wasn’t voiceless. I realized that I could contribute in my own way: through media. Even if I didn’t think I could make a difference, media making had always been an outlet to find my voice. Maybe it was time to share it. I decided to make a short documentary interweaving my family’s history with a broader backdrop of Asian American history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #ec0046\">\u003cem>“While I may have felt helpless, I certainly wasn’t voiceless.”\u003c/em>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, I quickly learned that filming this documentary wasn’t just about making a statement. Writing my script required me to reflect on my own past and privilege. Reaching out for interviews allowed me to begin conversations with my friends and family – discussions that turned isolated fears into collective experiences, reckonings, and understandings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the conversations didn’t stop there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My film teacher, Ms. Sidley, helped me submit my video to KQED’s Youth Media Challenge showcase, and I was given the opportunity to present my work at the Youth Media event “I Made This”. This was my first experience with public speaking, and I was worried that my message would be lost amid the jumble of my nerves. Would it even matter? How could a high schooler contribute to the discussion? But when I spotted my mother in the crowd, I remembered that I was simply here to tell my family’s story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #ec0046\">\u003cem>“I received messages from my relatives\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003cem>who had watched the live stream,\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003cem>grateful to see themselves represented on screen.”\u003c/em>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking what was genuine and truthful to me was the heart of mediamaking, I saw. And that is where impact originates: the force of a single voice, spreading out in ripples. After the event, I spoke with audience members, and it was incredible to see how my piece connected with people across cultural and generational barriers. A woman shared similar experiences of feeling disconnected from her Mexican heritage while living in America. I received messages from my relatives who had watched the live stream, grateful to see themselves represented on screen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Youth Media curriculum gave me a platform to explore issues relevant to my community, but more importantly, it also gave me the confidence to continue discussing these issues and speaking out through media. Media making has encouraged me to ask questions and search for the answers; to reflect on my own experiences and connect with my community.

Yet I was hesitant to share my own stories. How could a teenager’s ideas have any impact? At least, that’s what I told myself.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2021, cases of COVID-19 skyrocketed, and so did reports of anti-Asian violence. Seeing the fear of my community reflected in these news stories, I knew I had to speak up in some way. But how? While people were out in the streets protesting racial injustice, I was quarantined in my bedroom, drifting aimlessly from one Zoom call to another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While I may have felt helpless, I certainly wasn’t voiceless. I realized that I could contribute in my own way: through media. Even if I didn’t think I could make a difference, media making had always been an outlet to find my voice. Maybe it was time to share it. I decided to make a short documentary interweaving my family’s history with a broader backdrop of Asian American history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #ec0046\">\u003cem>“While I may have felt helpless, I certainly wasn’t voiceless.”\u003c/em>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, I quickly learned that filming this documentary wasn’t just about making a statement. Writing my script required me to reflect on my own past and privilege. Reaching out for interviews allowed me to begin conversations with my friends and family – discussions that turned isolated fears into collective experiences, reckonings, and understandings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This was my first experience with public speaking, and I was worried that my message would be lost amid the jumble of my nerves. Would it even matter? How could a high schooler contribute to the discussion? But when I spotted my mother in the crowd, I remembered that I was simply here to tell my family’s story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #ec0046\">\u003cem>“I received messages from my relatives\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003cem>who had watched the live stream,\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003cem>grateful to see themselves represented on screen.”\u003c/em>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking what was genuine and truthful to me was the heart of mediamaking, I saw. And that is where impact originates: the force of a single voice, spreading out in ripples. After the event, I spoke with audience members, and it was incredible to see how my piece connected with people across cultural and generational barriers. A woman shared similar experiences of feeling disconnected from her Mexican heritage while living in America. I received messages from my relatives who had watched the live stream, grateful to see themselves represented on screen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Youth Media curriculum gave me a platform to explore issues relevant to my community, but more importantly, it also gave me the confidence to continue discussing these issues and speaking out through media. Media making has encouraged me to ask questions and search for the answers; to reflect on my own experiences and connect with my community.
