2 Huge Youth Media Events Rock Chicago
This past Sunday night (March 9) Young Chicago Authors (YCA)celebrated its 8th annual “Louder Than A Bomb” teen poetry slam. It was nothing short of a huge hit! Highlights included a new venue – the Vic Theater, a surprise performance by GLC (“Drive Slow”), and documentary film makers (Siskel/Jacobs Productions and Free Spirit Media) covering the entire event. (Watch for the documentary they’re producing on YCA, to be released later this year.) But the main highlight as always was teen poetry at its best – including a surprise performance by 11-12 year olds from Ravenswood Elementary.
On Tuesday, March 11 Roosevelt University hosted its annual Scholastic Press Association of Chicago high school journalism workshops and awards ceremony. This year more than 300 high school students and their journalism advisers attended workshops on a variety of topics including coverage of entertainment, interviewing skills and credibility. The workshops were great – but energy levels rose afterwards with the teen awards at the Chicago Cultural Center (pictured). Prizes went out for a variety of categories – best editorial cartoon, sports reporting, design & layout, etc.

Congratulations to Irene Tostado of RadioArte!
Irene Tostado of Radio Arte has been named Youth Media Professional of the Month by YM Reporter. Kudos! See the piece on her here. Couple highlights:

While at Loyola’s Center for Urban Research and Learning (CURL) she coordinated an evaluation project involving the Native American community in the Uptown neighborhood, the Native American Health Center and Mayor Daley’s Domestic Violence HELP Hotline.
+ Irene became involved in immigration advocacy (after an encounter between immigration officials and her family) and works to raise awareness among Latinos about changing legislation affecting immigrants.
+ Irene is the Training Program Director for Radio Arte 90.5fm and produces two ‘live’ radio programs – “Without Borders” for Radio Arte and “Stereotipo” for La Kalle 103.1 and 93.5fm. She also writes for “Extra Newspaper” and “La Raza.”
Sounds like a well-deserved honor!
