We are looking for new members for our team! including experienced radio journalists with production and hosting skills, as well as people interested in learning these skills in a community-based environment.
What being a part of the APEX collective means:
- Gaining technical skills in grassroots radio journalist
- Opportunities to interview and meet people on the ground doing political and cultural work
- Contributing ideas to APEX’s weekly covered topics/issues/events
- Access to basic radio production equipment
- Working with an amazing crew of fun, talented, supportive folks!
Expectations/commitments:
- Minimum 3 month commitment
