The Human News Desk will create a template for using individual, first-person stories to reveal a more nuanced and human portrait of important social issues. On the radio, the Human News Desk will be broadcast within the context of existing news programs, breaking down distinctions between 'citizen journalism' and 'traditional journalism' and giving ordinary people another way to tell their stories.
This initiative will help create a model for radio stories beyond the dial, exploring how new technologies can make radio a medium for two-way communication. Listeners will participate in shaping each story by adding content and commentary through the website, or simply exploring the stories and perspectives of others in their community. The website will also be an immersive experience, allowing listeners to explore the stories and perspectives of people they might not otherwise meet. With stories flowing in all directions - bubbling up, down, and sideways - the Human News Desk will be an interactive radio series mediated through the web: a true AudioWiki.
Lastly, this approach to radio on and off the dial will help to create a scaleable and adaptable framework for making social issues multi-dimensional, multi-directional, and participatory: a space where important social issues are addressed by many voices.
