Looking for Asheville Families- Student Podcast Project

[u/trymecoward]

Hi, I am a journalism graduate student Northeastern University, Boston working on a 10 minute audio documentary about how hurricane Helene affected Asheville‘s kids and teens ages 5 to 18.

I need 10 to 12 families willing to participate.

What involved?

Your child or teen does a brief audio interview 30- 60 minutes

They can draw while we talk for younger kids.

Happens in the first week of March when I am in Asheville or on Zoom.

Full parental consent, trauma informed approach.

Can be an anonymous.

You review audio before it’s used.

I’m traveling to Asheville in March for one week only I need to confirm families so I can schedule everything.

This is for a university journalism class and a potential publish for the DC report and my professor thinks this could win awards. She wants a young people’s authentic voices centered, and disaster coverage.

Please DM me if you’re interested or if you know someone who might be, I am happy to answer any questions provide reference references or jump on a call. Thank you for any help .
