Youth Media Club

Youth Media Club is a group of teens and kids that has been meeting regularly since October to learn more about newspaper publishing and work on their writing, photography, drawing and graphic design skills. At the Youth Media Club, youth participated in workshops on journalistic writing, photography and graphic design; conducted mock interviews and went on a photo trip around the neighbourhood; met with media professionals and had fun sessions where they made zines or drew comics and cartoons.

The Youth Media Club participants have written a lot of interesting articles and stories, created great drawings and took amazing pictures. Some of their works were published in the summer issue of Bathurst-Finch Kaleidoscope. Due to space limitation, we could not publish all of them in the newspaper so you can find them here.

In May, we also announced a contest for the best submission in four different categories: Non-fiction, Fiction, Drawing, and Photography. Our congratulations to the winners! We are looking forward to more great stories, drawings and photographs coming from all our Youth Media Club participants and other newspaper contributors as their talents flourish.
