Mr. Bow thinks it is time you showed your true potential. 

After months of inputs from our lovely readers, their awesome contributions, and a million, zillion signals that we have amazing readers, we are so excited to launch a formal Young Journalists Program. 

Here are the details: 

What is the Young Journalists Program? 

The Young Journalists Program is the realisation of a dream that was sowed by Ananya Singh, our young reader, many months ago. She wrote to us that she would like to write features for the paper. She wrote some brilliant ones. Then, there were other readers too, sending awesome stuff that was also original. 
Slowly, we woke up to the ambition and ability of our children. 
What followed was a brainstorming session where we discussed whether we should have young journalists, and how we will operationalise it. 
In short, The Young Journalists Program is a program which gives a peek into the world of journalism, and is open to students who are 10-18 years old. 
This is the first batch of the program. 

What does it offer? 

The program includes: 

A. A 6 week training module on journalism which includes writing, photo journalism, research, public speaking, interviewing skills, and video journalism. 

B. On completion of the training module, you will be a part of the first batch of The Children’s Post Young Journalists Program and will routinely write for The Children’s Post of India. 

C. Opportunity to do news reportage, video journalism, and photo journalism. (video journalism only if you are above 13 years of age) 

D. Opportunity to do awesome interviews and write research based feature content. 

E. An experience certificate for journalism on the completion of the program. 

F. Opportunity to mentor the subsequent batches. 

Each batch is for 6 months. 

Who can be a part of the program? 

Any Indian student, whether homeschooled or in formal school, can be a part of the program, if they are between between the ages of 10-18 (last completed year as on Jan 1, 2021). 

What are the charges? 

There are NO CHARGES.

No registration charge, no participation fee, no processing charges, nothing.

We bear all the expenses. 

Selection is entirely on the aptitude of the child. 

There are no charges, not even nominal, for the training. We pay for that too 🙂 

How does one join? 

It is very easy to apply for the program.
