It turns out that educating journalism students around the world -- for free -- can really take you places!

Goodbye to Teen Vogue, the latest youth-oriented publication to close.
Thankfully, after 32 years, we're still around, producing high-quality journalism from young people around the globe.
We don't ever give up.
This is Tahiry from Madagascar at YJI's global conference, a long way from her home village that lacks electricity or running water.
Her smile is lighting up Cape Town!
On day one of YJI's conference in Cape Town, four students saw the ocean for the first time.
They hail from Egypt, Madagascar, Maryland and Ghana.
My stance towards AI slop like this has been
"If you couldn't be bothered to write it, why should I bother to read it?"
for quite some time now & I'm still waiting for someone to show me the error of my ways.
Catch up on Eurovision with reports from YJI's Florian Gashi, pictured here with winner JJ of Austria.

Thank you Ursula von der Leyen for recognising the work of Journalists! I am very privileged to live in a country where we as young people are safe to share our thoughts freely. Through some work I do with @yjinow.bsky.social I have seen first hand the problems in certain countries with freedom.
You can now hear the next generation of journalists reading their work from countries spanning the globe.
It's amazing.

Great article from a young aspiring journalist on the @yjinow.bsky.social site about last weekend's #F1 #AusGP in Melbourne

One of @yjinow.bsky.social's students, Ukrainian Vladlen Zaitsev, wrote a piece about having the opportunity recently to meet with @kajakallas.bsky.social, vice president of the European Commission.
Love that.
At Youth Journalism International, we know we need to hear what young people have to say.

I dunno, what else do you call a shadowy group of bureaucrats working to reshape government policy from the inside to serve their own ends? www.wired.com/story/doge-i...
Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.
Don't miss this.
You really need to read one of @yjinow.bsky.social's great alums writing about Mark Zuckerberg, for whom she worked in Facebook's early days. It's both perceptive and, frankly, kind of scary.

Youth Journalism International's Noah Haynes interviewed one of only two Greenlandic reps in the Danish Parliament for a story on Trump's threats against Greenland. Whether you see it as a joke or a concern, read the story here: youthjournalism.org/greenland-le... @yjinow.bsky.social

Shoutout to the Los Angeles Times reporters who are doing essential journalism under very difficult circumstances.
They’ve dropped their paywall, but their ongoing coverage is a good reminder of why local newsrooms need support — and what we lose when those outlets are hollowed out.
While other media is regurgitating the work they did earlier in the year, bsky.app/profile/yjin... is posting tons of new stuff this weekend

Journalism is not a crime.
Thanks to the Republican Congress, and a tsunami of lies from Musk and others, the only US agency dedicated to tracking and exposing Russian and Chinese propaganda around the world ceases to exist
