Maine Points: Youth Journalism International

Danny speaks with Jackie Majerus of Youth Journalism International.

Youth Journalism International started off in 1994 as a small, informal group in Bristol, Connecticut whose work was printed in the local daily newspaper. By 1996, when students finished an award-winning series on teen suicide, its reporting was available online as well, one of the first teen-written newspapers online and the only one from that era that still exists.

Youth Journalism International connects student writers, artists and photographers with peers around the globe, teaches journalism, fosters cross-cultural understanding, and promotes and defends a free youth press.
