Young reporters on the BBC

As WHYS is being taken care of, by school kids today, I thought it was worth letting you know how Your Story is working with under 18’s for their perspective on the news.

For a view on sex education in schools, I worked with teenage mums from Southampton on contraception.   There are also these three teenagers from Chicago who are recording about their lives in a failing school system, where there is poverty and violence.  To get involved, check out the Your Story blog.

Citizen journalism on WHYS

Hi, I’m Nina and I look after Your Story – it’s a place where you can share your personal stories on issues close to your heart. Here I am in video explaining more about what I do…you can also learn more on the Your Story blog.

Basically it’s a place where you can talk about personal experiences in more depth – where you can also report on stories from your perspective.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Among other things right now I’m working on the issue of racism in Ukraine and sexual abuse within a strict Islamic family in Abu Dhabi. Read more about this here

You could get your stories, photos, perspectives on air and online by getting in touch with me by posting right here or on my blog, especially if you have something more you want to say on a WHYS debate and need more time to say it, then why not try telling me about it?

Citizen Journalists and us…

Hi my name is Nina and I look after a citizen journalism project called Your Story at the BBC World Service.   This is a place where you can send in your video, photos and audio – we work with ordinary people who are perhaps already citizen journalists with their own blogs or maybe shooting video or uploading photos and get these story ideas on air.
