Rising journalists once again took over RadioACTive for Voices Amplified, a show done in collaboration between Salt Lake Community College, Amplify Utah and KRCL 90.9 FM.
For the first segment, host Anna Gardner discussed street tai chi classes with Bernie and Marita Hart, founders of the nonprofit Understanding Us, and University of Utah student volunteers Shannon Melgarejo and Ajla Masic.
Next, Gardner spoke with SLCC film student Kristina Martinez about her recent documentary short, which covers tattoos and their relationship with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Two of Martinez’s film subjects, Stockton and Brielle Barney – active members of the church – joined the conversation.

Gardner then covered the rising topic of ChatGPT and its effects on education. Journalism student Teresa Chaikowsky, who recently wrote about the subject as it relates to SLCC, provided input alongside SLCC English Professor Tiffany Rousculp and Marcie Young Cancio, SLCC journalism assistant professor and founder of the media literacy nonprofit Amplify Utah.
