• They are challenged to expand their understandingof social justice, democracy, inclusion, and equity.

•Then, they create radio segments, using media to givevoicetolocalactivism,whichoftenextendsnationallyandinternationally.

The radio station provides a venue for over a millionlistenersincentralandnorthernNewMexico,raisingaware-ness,dispellingstereotypes,anddevelopingasenseofprideinthecapabilityofNewMexicanyouth.

Afterwards,theproductionsareevaluatedbasedontwokeyquestions:“Howwascommunityserved?”And“Whatdid the youth producers learn about an issue or about thecommunity?”

Weattempttobringyoungpeopleacrossdifferenceto-gether,becausewerealizethattheyhavebeenimpactedbyeightyearsofpubliceducationalpolicies,perpetuatingthestatusquoandlimitedcriticalthinkingintheclassroom.And,theyhavebeensubjectedtothevaluesofpop-culture(real-ityTV)andcorporate-ownedmainstreammedia,whichusefear tactics and survival of the fittest theory to distract from therealissuesinourcommunities,promotingdeceptionandmanipulation.Asixteen-year-oldinthiscountryhashadabouthalf of their life influenced by these two factors, drastically affectingtheiridentitiesandrelationshipswiththeirpeers.

Inaddition,thebroadersocietystilldoesnotseeyoungpeopleaschangeagents,despite themanystrides that thepositive youth development field has made. Youth who are organizingagainstpoliciesandstructures,basedininstitu-tionalracismandsocialclassism,haveveryfewvenuestoinformandeducatethebroadercommunityoftheirorganizingefforts,victories,andlessonslearned.

In project evaluation and reflection, the youth participants expresshowtheyhavechangedasaresultofbeinginthisproject.JonquilynHill,an18-year-oldparticipantexplains:

Social Justice and Power Analyses

Sowhatissocialjusticeandhowdoyoudesignayouthmediaprojectusingsocialjusticeprinciples?

Conceptions of social justice can be broad, but in theyouth media context at KUNM; we define social justice as livinginajustworldwhereeverymemberofsocietyhasthebasic human rights and equal access to all of the benefits of society.

Youthmediaorganizationsseekingtoincorporateastrongsocial justice element into their programs first must commit to givingvoicetothevoicelessamongstyouththemselvesandbeintentionalinrecruitingyouththatwouldnormallynotbeincludedinmediaprojects.Beyondethnicandculturaldiver-sity,youthfromvarioussocio-economicclasses,geographyandlifeexperiencesshouldbeincluded.

Second, youth media organizations must examine thepoweranalysisoftheirlocalcommunity.

• Who holds the financial power in my community?

•Whatarethestatistics,whoisfairingwellandwhoisnot?

•Whocontrolsthemediaandthemessaginginourcom-munity?
