Student-produced 'Future of the Bay' airs on KQED

We’re excited to share the fourth annual edition of 'Future of the Bay,' a student-reported and produced audio series now airing across KQED platforms.

Fully produced by students in Associate Professor Josh Davis’s Audio Journalism class at San Francisco State University, this year’s edition brings sharp, soulful reporting on the people, places and possibilities shaping the Bay Area’s future. Stories tackle big questions about climate, housing, culture, identity, and resilience with the curiosity and heart that defines public service journalism.

Don’t miss this powerful 50-minute broadcast of original stories by tomorrow’s storytellers.

SF State Journalism extends deep gratitude to KQED for this opportunity to empower and support student voices and reporting.
