Youth Media Archive Database

In 2003 NAMAC's Youth Media Initiative developed a survey for US-based youth media programs in order to establish a base-line assessment of programs and organizations. We featured the survey data along with analysis in our publication A Closer Look that provided practioners and stakeholders with valuable information about the youth media sector. In 2005, NAMAC resurveyed these groups to track the direction and needs in the field of youth media over time.

The organizational structures, demographics, and programs that emerged from these surveys offer a snapshot of the field of youth media today. Responses from each survey’s questions are displayed in tables, separated by year, and may be further sorted using the search criteria below.

More resources for organizations supporting the work of youth media producers can be found in NAMAC's Youth Media Archive.
