Article Format
Why choose an article?
Choose an article when your story benefits from depth, evidence and explanation. Writing gives you space to investigate an issue, bring together different perspectives and interviews, and build a detailed argument or story.
In today’s world, written media extends far beyond traditional print newspapers, embracing a wide range of digital platforms such as online news sites, blogs, and social media. This evolution opens up exciting opportunities for young reporters in our program to make their mark. By using platforms like Facebook and Instagram, you can help extend the reach of written articles and news stories and engage a wider audience.
As young reporters, you have the chance to use these digital tools to enhance the impact of your reporting and connect traditional media with social media.
