In two sentences or less…

Tell us why a radio/digital producer would want to come work at NCPR on a project of their choice (as long as it is relevant to the region and useful for broadcast and online)…What is wonderful, quirky, appealing, challenging or intriguing about the region to attract them here? What is it about the station that you think might “sell” NCPR to a producer?

Why am I asking? We are putting ourselves up on a “runway,” along with a number of other stations from across the country, trying to attract one of 10 seasoned media producers who will be awarded a year’s salary to work at a station on a project of interest to both the producer and the station. This is being offered by the group AIR, Association of Independents in Radio, as a way of pairing up great producers with great stations. NCPR has been invited to participate on the runway.

Joel Hurd, our production manager, is producing at 3-5 minute profile of the station and the region. Any suggestions?

Check out The Waiting Room, produced by Peter Nicks (who was awarded a recent AIR fellowship for this work). It gives you an idea of the kind of project we’d love to see emerge from this year’s collaboration with an independent producer.

Thanks!
