POPPYN (Presenting on Perspective On Philly Youth News) is an award-winning youth news program based in Philadelphia at the University Community Collaborative. We cover events and explore topics of interest to youth in Philly. POPPYN derived from the desire to portray the positive things youth are doing in the city, because local news tends to portray young people in a negative light. In our program, high school students collaborate with college students to produce short films, journalistic segments and episodes throughout the year. Our program meets on Mondays and Wednesdays after-school at Temple University.
POPPYN airs every Thursday at 5:30pm EST on Philadelphia’s Public Access Channel: PhillyCAM (Comcast 66/Verizon 29).
