Journalists Marc Steiner and Jessica Phillips Discussing their Award Winning Series October 17, 2008 One voice not often heard on the airwaves, if at all, is that of the working poor. Through the radio series Just Words, we hear from gang members, ex-cons, low wage workers, mothers of murdered children, inner city kids, daycare workers, waitresses and more, all from Baltimore. As Executive Producer Marc Steiner notes, Just Words offers “an honest examination of the life of all types of disenfranchised and marginalized people who told their own stories, in their own words. They shared their hopes and fears. They opened their lives and showed what it means to be poor and nameless in America.” In 2008, the series won the highest award in broadcast journalism: A Peabody Award. In a time when it is assumed that only flashy images and quick cuts can keep the attention of an audience, Marc Steiner and Series Producer Jessica Phillips show how “just words” can bring listeners to the heart of a situation. Steiner and Phillips will speak about how the program was conceived and created, and what it has to say about media and society. They will address not only the subjects covered by Just Words, but describe how a radio program obtains and conducts interviews and shapes them into an effective narrative. Student Resources
