Review of Teen Coverage of the World Can't Wait Protest
This piece represents an impressive and diverse collage of the people attending "The World Can't Wait" protest. The passion and energy present at such gatherings as well as the eloquence of the protesters were both readily apparent throughout the story--energy and eloquence surfaced by the producer's thoughtful and well-phrased questions. The listener occasionally has difficulty hearing the interviewees over the sound of the protest; watching and editing for this could improve the piece.
