What does journalism
look like?
Day of the Girl
You’re never too young to be a journalist. At
Memunatu’s Day of the Girl event in Washington, D.C.
last year, teenage girls from a local Girl Scout
troop served as reporters for the event. Some of their
articles were even featured on our blog! For example,
Maddie Graham wrote a summary of the event and
included her favorite parts of the program. She was able
to use her experience as an attendee to write a first-
hand account of everything she saw. This is something
that journalists around the world do every day!
Sports + Journalism
Interested in writing about sports? Maybe you should
consider covering the Olympics! For the third time, the
International Olympic Committee is seeking young
journalists from countries around the world to
participate in their Young Reporters Programme. These
youths will have the opportunity to be trained in
journalism and then help cover events of the Olympic
Games in Argentina. Not quite sure you’re ready for
that step yet? Get some practice covering a local sports
someone who plays a sport at school, or even write
about some local dancers.
University Magazine 
When Michele Dale (center) came to Georgetown
University in the United States, she wanted to be part of
a feminist literary magazine, like the one she had in
high school. When she realized the university didn’t
game- write an article on a football match, interview
have one, she (with the help of her friend Tiffany Tao)
created her own: Bossier. Bossier serves as a way to
“reclaim” the word bossy for empowered females. They
take submissions of all types, from poetry to art and
even to playlists!
