Letter from the Editor
"Welcome to YMR's Twin Cities Volume 3: Issue 4, where practitioners in the Twin Cities investigate youth media practice and share their insights to the field. With support from the McCormick Foundation, these practitioners and their colleagues met on June 17 at St. Thomas University to discuss the most pressing challenges of their work.
Following this meeting, contributors wrote and revised drafts that were reviewed by a local peer, a member of YMR’s national peer review board, and AED/YMR staff, as a means to engage a youth media rich and yet underrepresented region to the field. " - Ingrid Dahl
