Year 9 intrepid journalists

A group of Year 9s are taking part in a Digital Advantage Future U Project where they are being intrepid journalists.

The group have created a digital news team called Romero Relayers and have been on a six-day course with Freelance Marketing Director Bernard Page from Future U to pick up tips.

The team learnt and delivered website content, branding, photography, videography, editing, scriptwriting, interviewing and branding.

The team had to improvise and show great resilience to meet the deadline and deliver the project.

“We have interviewed teachers and fellow pupils and are in the process of setting up our own website where we can put videos and news on it,” said Katrina.

“We also went to Burnley College and worked with their media department.

“It’s fun, we enjoy it and we get to work together. We have learnt to work as a team and it has also helped to build up our confidence.”
