The Under Age - calling all young journos

Submitted by naomisimmonds on 12 December 2010

Express Media is proud to announce a new and exciting project in partnership with The Age newspaper.
The Under Age is a fortnightly online newspaper written entirely by Victorian high school journalists. Each fortnight the group of up to 12 young people will workshop their story ideas with each other and also with selected industry professionals. The newspaper will include articles on news, sport, politics, art and culture.
We are looking for a group of 12 young journalists to form The Under Age team. If you will be in high school in 2011 and think you've got what it takes, please email three things to Express Media's Artistic Director Bel Schenk (artisticdirector@expressmedia.org.au) by 5pm Monday January 10, 2011:

  • One paragraph explaining who you are including your age and interests. We want to know what excites you.
  • One paragraph explaining why you want to be a part of The Under Age.
  • One paragraph telling us what you'd like to write about if you were selected. Be as honest as possible. We're looking for the most varied team, the team that can work together to make the best possible online newspaper.

For further information, please contact Bel on (03) 90947887 or via the email above.
