TK1’s Emerging Journalists Program
TAOS, NM — Starting today, TK1 is recruiting young storytellers aged 8-18 to learn all about the art and craft of journalism. Under the tutelage of TK1 Staff and Media Mentors, Emerging Journalists will connect with journalists and photojournalists around the state, country, and world; will regularly livestream with Pulitzer-winning journalists from around the country and globe to build media and news literacies; will work with TK1 Mentors to sharpen stories for publication in local newspapers or TV broadcast; will participate in TK1 Media Intensives to build their storytelling skills; and will work towards a paid end-of-year storytelling project. Emerging journalists will actively video, photograph, and document news stories across northern New Mexico.

A letter from our Board of Directors
Dear all,
We are about to experience the full impact of the measures taken by the authorities to limit the spread of COVID 19.
As disquieting as the pandemic is and as disruptive as the need to social distance will be, it has also revealed the need for distance learning and the holes in our community where both technology and the means to deliver it are lacking. Fortunately our community, in full response mode, has Kit Carson Broadband, True Kids 1, and the Municipal Schools collaborating to compile an inventory of computers and broadband access, to identify what is needed and by whom, so as to ensure equity in the delivery of home schooling to the children in our community.
LOR foundation has committed to help fill the computer gap and Adobe have committed to making its suite of products available for free for the duration of the crisis. This moment represents an opportunity for teachers to utilize technology which will enable them to support online student learning. It will also enable students to remain engaged with their studies and be exposed to technology and tools which will stand them in good stead both academically and vocationally.
The tools which will be deployed will still encourage the evolution of critical thinking and collaboration amongst students. You will be at the forefront of this pioneering endeavor working closely with teachers, workshop mentors, Adobe support and other resources to support online student learning.
This is extremely important work which you will be undertaking in the coming weeks and months, for which we your Board of Directors and the community at large are extremely grateful and proud of the service you provide.
Please be safe and follow all the appropriate public health protocols. With the fondest regards,
Anthony Rademeyer
