Why choose video? 
Choose video when seeing and hearing the story adds to its impact. Video can bring people, places and experiences directly to your audience, whether through an investigative report or a short, attention-grabbing campaign. 

Video format is the primary way youth consume news and learn about environmental issues. This can be through long-form content like documentaries, YouTube segments, and TV news reports, or short-form content on social media like Instagram Reels and TikToks.

Long-form videos rely on news, events, history, and facts, using elements of direct observation, research, interviews, and documentation.

In contrast, short-form campaign videos aim to raise awareness, promote values, and inspire positive action through live images, often using staged elements to send a clear message.

Through the YRE programme, young reporters can test and develop their video skills, creating impactful content that addresses environmental issues.
