By creating these messages, youth portray themselves and their peers on their own terms and engage in the researching, writing, production, editing and distribution of their own media. The Listen Up! Network is a vehicle for youth media producers to exchange and critique each other's work. Look for their feature PSAs on diversity and tolerance after 9/11.

Youth Channel
On January 31st 2002, the Youth Channel will start the New Year looking back at the year 2001. The Youth Channel's Youth Programming Committee has planned an event called "Let's not forget...". The event is a reminder of what preceded September 11, such as the Durban Conference of South Africa.

Youth activists will give their perspectives on issues such as the police brutality and racial profiling that antedate the WTC tragedy but have magnified thereafter. The event will be in the format of a panel with Youth Activists working in areas of Environment and Health, Police Brutality, Racial Profiling and Educational reform. The panel will be followed by a discussion. This event will be aired on the Manhattan Neighborhood Network but is available to other public access and community based centers across the US.


Youth Outlook
OYO! Youth Outlook is an award-winning monthly publication by and for young people who have stories to share. Featuring in-depth reporting pieces and first-person essays, comic strips and poetry pages, YO! is the communication outlet for youth who feel their voice and visions need to be seen and heard. YO! is a bridge to the world of youth expression. Excellent site.

Also, check out Berkeley Youth Radio http://www.youthradio.org and Video Machete http://www.videomachete.org because they are regionally responsive and really good groups.
