Why Youth Media

PBS News Student Reporting Labs believes that thoughtful local reporting and the interdisciplinary work of videos production are powerful ways for young people to learn, civically engage, and find their power. Including the youth perspective in news coverage (behind and in front of the camera) is critical. We work to amplify student voices so that their perspectives are represented and respected.
