Kat Aaron is the Co-Director of People's Production House, a media education and organizing group in New York City. PPH works to expand the diversity of voices heard through the media, the issues covered, and to create media that encourages public participation in social change. To that end, we train youth and immigrant reporters in news radio production, and conduct community education and organizing on media policy issues. PPH has two main projects: Radio Rootz, which works in New York City public schools, and the Community News Production Institute, which partners with local immigrant community organizing groups. Kat is also a producer for Wakeup Call, the morning news show at WBAI 99.5 FM, and a regular contributor to Free Speech Radio News. Until 2005, she was the Communications Director at the nationally-renowned economic justice organization, the Neighborhood Economic Development Advocacy Project. In her spare time, Kat knits, cooks, and watches Beauty and the Geek.
