This week's guests on Media Matters are Dr. William Patterson and Kimberlie Kranich. Dr. William Patterson is Visiting Assistant Professor in the Afro-American Studies and Research Program at the U of I.  He created the B.E.A.T.S program which stands for Bridging Education, Arts, & Technology Scholastically. The program empowers at-risk-youth to make media images and to explore the implications of those images on popular culture.  He also created All Girls Radio, a show engineered and produced by African American girls in middle school. The program airs weekly on WBCP Radio, central Illinois' only Black-owned and operated radio station. 

Kimberlie Kranich is outreach coordinator and producer of special broadcast and events at WILL TV and radio. She came to WILL 6 years ago from WPSX-TV and WPSU-Radio in Pennsylvania.  For the past five years, she has served on the  programming committee at community radio station WEFT in Champaign, three of those years as chair.  She is part of a collective of women at WEFT who produce "Womyn Making Waves," a music and information program Sundays from 1-3pm.
