A heartbreaking day here at KUOW.

Other RadioActive alumni include @NoelGasca and @JuliaFurukawa, along with many more talented people in newsrooms across the country. It was also a chance for people who didn’t ultimately land in journalism to sharpen their storytelling skills. This is an enormous loss.

This is devastating news. @kuowradioactive is the reason I'm in public radio today. Thank you for everything. Sending love from NH.

The end of RadioActive breaks my heart. I always say if the program didn't take a chance on me, I'm not sure if I would have even considered journalism. 💔

It's a very sad day at KUOW and for the future of journalism.
@kuowradioactive is one of the main reasons why I chose to pursue a career in public radio.

Seattle's local NPR station, @KUOW, announces layoffs today of nearly 10% of its staff positions. This includes axing the entire @kuowradioactive Youth Media program. Not a great day for local journalism in this city.
