Our Reflections
Helping me be a better journalist
I cannot believe how much information I was able to take away in such a short amount of time.
Changing how I see journalism
This experience has been something that has completely changed the way I view journalism.
An inspirational feeling
The experience of Next Generation Radio’s 2018 project in Sacramento has left an inspirational feeling in me that I expect will stay forever.
A whirlwind of a week
What a whirlwind of a week. When I first saw that I was accepted into Next Gen Radio, my first reaction was overwhelming joy, followed by intense anxiety.
Fear of the unknown: It’s OK to say ‘I don’t know’
The morning of the first day of Next Generation Radio, I looked in the mirror at my hotel and let out a long sigh. “This is going to be a long week,” I thought.
An enlightening experience
Discovering the Gift of Grocery service at New Hope Community Church this week was an enlightening experience.
