Good mentorship is missing in radio.
It feels like no one is preparing people who truly love this business to deal with its real pitfalls. The learning conferences are gone. The spaces where you could network, listen, and be mentored disappeared.
When our giants passed, the concern for the next generation was buried with them.
We still have award banquets—patting ourselves on the back for work we did decades ago—but that’s where it stops.
So I’ll ask: Who is mentoring the next generation of Black broadcasters?
We had mentors. Someone showed us how to survive the politics, the egos, and the instability of this business.
What about them?
Give me some feedback on this statement. Do you find this to be an issue?
