We recruit and select up to 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 Instructions

Complete the application form and submit the following:

• Résumé or biographical statement.
• 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.
• 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. Submit an audio sample on CD or by FTP. Please supply the title of the piece, its length, when and where it aired.

Note: We prefer to receive your audio samples by FTP, but will also accept audio on CD. Get FTP instructions, or mail the CD with your application and attachments to:
