Program areas at Youth Journalism International
GLOBAL CLASSROOM FOR JOURNALISM EDUCATION - YJI provides, for free, daily one-on-one and group instruction in journalism, professional ethics, media literacy and the nature of news. It holds regular meetings online, where a diverse group of students, hailing from scores of countries, discuss stories and projects while learning from instructors and each other about journalism. In the process, students also develop cross-cultural understanding. Their work is published on YJI's website, empowering young people in the process.
YJI TOGETHER - YJI holds annual global conferences and as many regional events as possible so that students get to know each other in person and learn directly from instructors. To the degree possible, YJI helps low-income students attend. YJI also encourages students to seek more education and use their skills to help build a better world.
YJI CONTEST - YJI holds an annual journalism contest for young people that recognizes some of the best work by students 19 and under. Among the major prizes are ones for Youth Journalist of the Year and Educator of the Year, along with awards for both the best commentary and news story. With more than three dozen categories, the contest aims to foster a strong youth journalism community worldwide, beyond YJI's own program.
