Kerrel reports from the 16th International AIDS Conference bringing up the interesting and pertinent topic of youth dealing with HIV and. She asks questions that arouse great response from her subjects about their views on how youth are dealing with AIDS, and the sound quality of this piece is incredible. Kerrel has awesome interviewing technique - and we gain great perspective with the information that is received from listening to this piece. A little more narration could be used for extra background on the topic and her interviewees, as some of their responses seem to come out of nowhere, and in some
places the listener has a hard time connecting them together. Kerrel?s ending narration in extremely powerful and positive as she concludes what steps the youth of the world must take in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
I'm glad you covered this event, because I don't think it was highly publicized. This was good investigative journalism! Eliminating HIV and AIDS starts with youth, so it was great that you had hard-hitting questions about their involvement and talked to the youth themselves. What makes it so powerful is what I see as almost the centerpiece of your story: the interview with Desmond. I think that you needed to introduce him and relate his connection to youth earlier on--he seems to pop up out of nowhere! But, all in all I enjoyed listening to your radio journal, and I can't wait until the next one!
