INTERVIEW

In this episode of Catalyst Radio we turn the microphone to Community Media Center for a project called Elevating Voices.  Funded by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, Elevating Voices aims to help Grand Rapids neighborhoods that are typically under-represented in traditional and mainstream media have a voice.

A number of upcoming Effective Media Use workshops will present ways to connect neighborhood residents through the power of communications technology.

In studio are Wayne Glatz, producer and media project manager, along with communications coordinator for the project Carol Shirey – to describe the free workshops, and the scope of the Elevating Voices project.

 

MUSIC

Music in this episode of Catalyst Radio is from the new release from area artist Tunde Olaniran, with a new release called Yung Archetype. The song is “Critical.”

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.

We need your help.

If each of our readers and content creators who values this community platform help support its creation and maintenance, The Rapidian can continue to educate and facilitate a conversation around issues for years to come.
