Youth organizers of Temple's University Community Collaborative of Philadelphia have created a news program to fight negative perceptions of themselves: "What's POPPYN" is a quarterly, half-hour online news show by teenagers about teenage issues in Philadelphia. "We highlight how young people are positively contributing to their schools, communities and organizations," said Natalia Smirnov, the initiative's media productions and communications manager. UCCP is a youth leadership nonprofit founded by Temple political science professor Barbara Ferman.
