YOUR VOICE IS NEEDED! OPEN CALL FOR ASPIRING COMMUNITY REPORTERS

Are you aged 15 to 25, currently a high school/college student or a recent graduate based in Belgium, with a curiosity for journalism, media reporting, and a passion for tackling local community challenges? If the answer is yes - we believe you're the right person for us! 😊


Media Diversity Institute Global, as part of the international project YoCoJoIn, is publishing a call for participation in the training for young reporters who will cover their local communities in local and youth media in their respective cities.

🌐 WHAT TOPICS WILL WE EXPLORE?

Embark on a comprehensive three-month training programme. Topics include: 

  • Introduction to journalism and media ethics
  • What is community journalism?
  • Media literacy in content production
  • Decoding media sources and addressing bias in reporting
  • Mastering community reporting
  • Harnessing the power of video and multimedia reporting
  • Perfecting interviewing skills
  • Navigating the world of data journalism and AI

🎓 HOW IS THE TRAINING STRUCTURED, AND WHAT COMES AFTER? 

The training kicks off with a a two-day session in Brussels (details to follow soon).

After the initial training, there will be a phase of online and in-person meetings over the next three months. Each meeting will focus on a specific topic and provide a unique platform for learning and knowledge exchange with experienced trainers and peers. A trainer will also be your mentor,  guiding you through the process of creating impactful media content.

🚀 THE NEXT LEVEL  

Several of most dedicated young reporters will advance to the second phase, involving further training and mentorship. The reward will be a mentoring process through practical work, providing young reporters with the opportunity to improve their knowledge and skills.

Media content produced in the second phase, aligning with the standards of the Media Diversity Institute Global, will be rewarded with an honorarium and will be showcased on the MDI platforms and potentially  youth and local media.

Through this engaging two-month process, you'll not only learn but actively contribute to your community's narrative, all while receiving dedicated mentorship from the best in the business. Exciting, right? 😊
