News publishers around the world are being invited to give over control of the day's news offer to teenagers for at least one day during November 2014.
The idea of this project is to encourage news companies around the world to hand over some editorial and creative control to young people sometime during the month of November, even if only for one edition.

The World Teenage News Takeover is a hands-on way to teach today’s youth about both the business and art of the news production process, while simultaneously serving as a community engagement tool and acting as still another occasion to teach newsroom staff about youth. Doing it in many countries within the same month makes the message global: that news publishers actively engage the young in ways that enhance news literacy and that make news staff really listen to the youth voice.
Outcomes from the initiative will be revealed in front of an audience at a major WAN-IFRA industry event in 2015.
