Details

Keep6ix.org is seeking to enhance its multimedia content by producing a series of investigative reports that combine audio storytelling, video journalism, and podcast production. The goal of this project is to create engaging and informative content that adheres to high journalistic standards. The project will involve a small team of learners who will apply their classroom knowledge in journalism, media production, and storytelling to develop compelling multimedia pieces. The learners will be responsible for conducting investigative research, capturing high-quality video footage, recording and editing audio content, and producing polished videoed interviews. This project will provide an opportunity for learners to gain hands-on experience in multimedia journalism and contribute to Keep6ix.org's mission of delivering compelling stories to its audience.

Deliverables
  • A 5-10 minute investigative video report that includes high-quality footage and compelling storytelling showcasing Keep6ix stakeholders.
  • A podcast episode that complements the video report, featuring in-depth audio storytelling and interviews.
  • A written report summarizing the investigative findings and the production process.
  • A presentation to Keep6ix.org's team showcasing the final multimedia pieces and discussing the investigative process and outcomes.

Keep6ix is a not-for-profit Toronto-based organization, serving the Greater Toronto Area, that was founded in 2017 to make a meaningful difference in the lives of at-risk youth from racialized communities who have been impacted by the criminal justice system.

Keep6ix offers various programs and services to help youth avoid going down a disempowering path toward incarceration. We also support and advocate for those who are currently incarcerated and provide post-release support so that they can overcome systematic barriers and stigma and begin to reintegrate positively into the community.
