On Friday June 11, 2010 the FANSHOES crew was interviewed by a young company called “Generation News”. Gabe talked about how he started the company and got to where we are today. Britt talked about how he got involved with FANSHOES. The interns talked about their roles at FANSHOES and spoke of a typical day at the FANSHOES office. “Generation News” will be editing the video that they took and posting it on their website in July.
Generation News is a nonprofit organization that goes out into the Rochester area and finds positive stories about the younger generation. “Generation News” is designed to tastefully showcase positive accomplishments of the youth in our communities. Our objective is to establish an organization in which the media’s portrayal of the youths in our communities of Monroe County will begin to radically repair the images of our youths. This organization will be designed to not only give our youth a better image to the older generations, but also to change the ways in which the youth of this county view themselves.
The “Generation News” website is http://www.generationnews.org/index.html. Check it out. They are also a young company like us so we need to spread the word about other young entrepreneurial ideas that have become a reality. We will let you know when the video is up on the “Generation News” website.
