Review of Alternative School and Teen Suicide, News Excerpt 3

I think this piece, as produced, might hold interest for the teens involved, or for an audience already familiar and invested in the school program described. I think the piece needs work to hold the interest of public radio listeners across the country. We don't learn enough about teen suicide, just that these teens want to talk about it. The interviews at the beginning, where students are talking about the program, seem like they belong in another piece. I think the focus on teen suicide needs more development. And as these students produce more pieces and do more interviews, they need more training on recording and mic handling because the tape will need to be "cleaner" to be able to be aired on most public radio stations. It sounds like a great project and that the kids are getting something out of learning to interview and use recorders, but story telling and recording skills need more work to be able to translate the stories these teens want to tell to a wider audience.
