Radio Stands Out Ingrid Hu Dahl Letter from the Editor It is a pleasure to release the first annual print journal of Youth Media Reporter (YMR), theonly professional journal that serves practitioners, educators and academics in the youth media field. This journal contains all the web-released articles from 2007 and an additional “special features” section—only available in print—that showcases complex and new challenges, tensions, and trends in the field. As the editor of YMR, re-reading each of these pieces in the print journal made me re-live the process of working with over 40 practitioners in 2007 to develop high quality articles for YMR. Some pieces started with meeting and talking to practitioners from visits to organizations in New York, NY, San Francisco, CA, Portland, OR, Austin, TX or Chicago, IL in an attempt to learn about the field. Others derived from phone conversations or via email. Still others developed through conversations at conferences— sometimes not even about media—with practitioners who had opinions or work related to the field yet to be articulated or emphasized. Each article’s process helped YMR develop its own best practices while reflecting a community of passionate learners. As each article, question, and conversation took shape, so too did my own growth and connection to this field. I am honored to be a part of this community and am eager to continue highlighting this powerful, dynamic work in 2008. The youth media field has long asked for a resource where educators/practitioners can share best practices and methodologies; review new research and documents; and have an opportunity to dialogue/respond with colleagues. Many educators, including pioneers in the field—Diane Coryat and Steven Goodman in their 2004 OSI white paper—have requested a thriving space to access the stories and experiences of fellow practitioners and educators. As young people learn to share, create, develop, and gain access to technology/media, so too must the field share, create, and develop best pedagogical approaches across the diverse and ever growing youth media community. YMR answers the call of the field—to have a professional space to learn of each other’s work while inviting new audiences to join the dialogue. Much in this way, the journal acts as the field’s dynamic archive— documenting periods of growth and expansion from the viewpoints of usual and unusual suspects. In the special features section you will see Anna Lefer, former program officer of Open Society Institute and champion of the youth media field, explain, “Being reflective and honing in on best practices that fit into the broader democracy is essential for educators in youth media to take leaps to use, build, and test new relationships and partnerships.” It is our hope that YMR meets this need; urging and supporting those in the youth media field to share tools, opinions, and innovations with far reaching and diverse partners. YMR digs deep and broad, expanding the audience and community of partners to the field’s scope of work and direction—including academics and a wider public. In professor Kathleen Tyner’s special features article, she explains “the emergence of scholarly, field-specific, peer-reviewed journals, such asYouth Media Reporter, and heightened interest in the topic by established youth development and education journals provides incentive and dissemination outlets for academic publication on the subject and opens the dialogue about youth media to a wider public.” However, YMR is not simply an outlet for new audiences to learn about and be involved with the youth media field. The journal itself is “owned” by its writers and readers, who represent a spectrum of individuals in the youth media and neighboring fields with varying approaches to this work. YMR staff and peer review board members work with each contributor, tailoring articles through a supportive editorial review process to produce high quality pieces that can be shared amongst educators and new audiences.. YMR’s writers work hard to identify and share their thoughts on best practices and tensions in the field—creating a community of reflective, engaged learners. This journal is disseminated not only to the many youth media organizations that define this field, but also to hundreds of academic departments across the United States. We envision that the journal will spark new career pipelines for college students interested in this work. Youth media should not be a career left to happenstance of opportunity with few formal supports and resources, but rather a viable choice identified at the university. Young people need to be educated and supported not just as media makers/creators but also as young adults who will be the next generation of youth media educators, supporters, and practitioners. In an effort to support the field, we are disseminating the first annual print journal at no cost.

An order for relief has been entered. This notice has important information about the case for creditors, debtors, and trustees, including information about the meeting of creditors and deadlines. Read both pages carefully. The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect debts from the debtor or the debtor's property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtor. Creditors cannot demand repayment from the debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney's fees. Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debt. A creditor who wants to have a particular debt excepted from discharge may be required to file a complaint in the bankruptcy clerk's office within the deadline specified in this notice.

For 2006, TNS Media Intelligence is forecasting 12.9% growth in Spanish-language media, compared to 4.9% for all U.S. media (TNS doesn’t yet measure the fast-growing English-language Hispanic media targeting bilingual and English-speaking Hispanics). Validating this optimistic outlook, TNS reported 14.2% growth in first ¡ quarter 2006 spending in Spanish-language media. Among the top 50 Hispanic ad agencies, 28 posted double-digit growth in 2005. And of the top 50 advertisers to Hispanics, 26 increased their ad budgets by double- digit amounts for the year. Marketers aren’t just spending more.
