Interested in what area young people think about the future of our region? Every year, students from San Francisco State University grab microphones, audio recorders and headphones in search of the stories that matter to them across the Bay Area. From thrifting culture to harassment on public transit to the hyphy movement, students share stories from around the community in this special report, “The Future of the Bay Area.” The collaboration between KQED and SFSU started as an idea back in 2022 in assistant professor Josh Davis’s audio journalism class, which is offered to Journalism and Broadcast students at SFSU.
