OPPORTUNITIES / NEWS: Unicef NZ searching for aspiring young reporters (NEW ZEALAND)

UNICEF NZ (UN Children's Fund) and 3News are searching for five budding young reporters to write for 3Youth - a space on the 3News website dedicated to news written by young people.

Passionate young writers, aged 16-18, have until June 1, 2012 to apply at www.unicef.org.nz/3Youth. Applicants are asked to submit a short video about themselves and to write a 500 word news story which will be judged by leading journalist, newsreader and UNICEF NZ ambassador Mike McRoberts.

The winning five will be asked to commit to 3Youth for 12 months with the project kicking off in late June with a workshop in Auckland at 3News headquarters. The training day will include sessions from both UNICEF NZ and 3News staff and includes a master-class on the art of journalism from Mike McRoberts.
