Summary
The US onAir Network will be working with volunteers from North Carolina universities, colleges, and nonprofit organizations to oversee the curation and moderation of posts, aircasts (online discussions), and in person events for the North Carolina onAir Hub … related to federal, state, and local elections and government.
Our first outreach will be to North Carolina State University partly because of its proximity to the state capital. In this post we will summarize information about many universities like East Carolina University’s civic engagement, academic, internship and research programs related to making democracy and civic responsibility a focus of higher learning on their campus … for students, faculty, staff, and local community.
Contact ben.murphy@onair.cc for more information on how to involve your organization.
OnAir Post: North Carolina Universities
East Carolina University
Students OnAir @ECU
The East Carolina University’s onAir chapter will initially focus on training interested undergrad and graduate students on how to curate North Carolina onAir content especially submitting Top News articles, events, videos, and information and moderating forums in each post they curate.
Student curators will also work with state senate and house committee chairs to produce aircasts on issues being discussed and bills being proposed in their committees.
During election season, students with other other organizations like the League of Women Voters, will coordinate and produce aircasted debates with candidates.
