also more formal projects like Mohammed’s, which are
/7 organised by big media companies. Some children even
publish their own magazines and online newspapers.

These children often have very different reasons for giving up

their time to be journalists. Some are interested in becoming
professional journalists and they realise how important it is to
get experience. Others are worried about issues like climate
change or the protection of animals. For them, it’s a chance to
find out the truth and publish it for the world to see.

Journalism has changed a lot in recent years. Television and

newspapers are still important, but most news is now shared
on social media and the internet. We have access to more
information than ever and anyone can publish news these
days. This might seem like a good thing, but we are also
seeing more fake news. In the future, we’ll need journalists
who know how to check facts and create reliable content.
Luckily, children like Celia and Mohammed are getting the
experience that will help them become those journalists.
