We recruit and select twelve participants for each workshop, through an application process designed to maximize ethnic, racial and gender diversity and to include those from rural and minority-controlled stations and networks.

Application Requirements

• Résumé or biographical statement
• Choose your best news or public affairs piece (or excerpt) on a science, health, technology or environmental issue, and specify what primary role you played in its production. Label the CD with your name, the title of the piece, its length and where it aired.
• Letter of recommendation: If you’re affiliated with a station or network, submit a letter of recommendation from your station manager, program director, news director or editor. If you’re an independent producer, submit a letter from a radio professional who knows your work.
• Personal statement: Describe your reasons for wanting to attend the workshop and explain what you hope to learn from the experience.
