Volunteer: Seeking News and Public Affairs Volunteers

Hello,

The News and Public Affairs Department is seeking volunteers.

Would you like to get into news reporting? Are you passionate about a particular beat, like education, politics, transit, or environmental justice? The Morning Magazine is a great place for that.

Production Assistant: Record and edit audio for programming and announcements.

On-Air Producer: Learn to interview guests or help host news and public affairs programs.

Digital Content Coordinator: Help publish news stories on KGNU.org and/or help maintain our social media presence.
