Student Youth Network Inc., operating as SYN Media /sɪn/, is an Australian youth-run not-for-profit organisation providing media training and broadcasting opportunities for young people. Commonly referred to as SYN, the organisation produces new and independent media that is made by and for young people in Melbourne. Founded in 2000, today volunteers – all aged 12–25 years of age – produce a radio station broadcast on FM radio and DAB+ digital radio, as well as content for television, print and online.[1] A 2006 McNair listener survey showed a similar age group, 15–24, as the largest age group listening to community radio in Australia.[2]
