In this episode, Kyra and I discuss how YR Media is assisting the next generation of journalists, being a Black woman in the field, how to work your way up the ranks and more. Kyra Kyles is a multi-platform senior-level media executive, award-winning writer and public speaker on issues of diversity and representation. In 2020, she was named CEO at YR Media (formerly Youth Radio), an award-winning national network of young multicultural creators who develop content—including music, investigative journalism, design/interactive, and documentaries— for this generation. The Oakland-based nonprofit organization has invested in the future workforce for nearly 30 years, helping next-generation talent develop crucial skills across journalism, arts, and media.
