InSITE,
A new e-magazine based in Hereford, covers a wide range of issues
from local news items, to real life stories, opinion pieces and
cultural articles.
Stories
on Herefords first safe-sex school, domestic violence and driving
test tips were all part of the first issue of the free and independent
e-mag.
InSITE
is entirely run by young people between 13 and 25 with support from
media professionals at The Rural Media Company.
InSITE
provides a platform for the views and opinions of Herefordshire's
young people.
It
is an opportunity for the youth community to explore the local,
national and global issues, participate in debate and influence
decision making.
"Since
I've joined InSITE I have learned more about working in the media.
"I've
made new friends and have learnt loads of new skills - like editing
and photography", says young journalist Emily, aged 17.
InSITE
is now working on its second issue and developing interactive features
to the website so young people can communicate regardless of the
rural isolation many feel in Herefordshire.
The
next issue is focusing on young people and politics.
Anyone
between 13-25 can take part and register.
There
are currently opportunities for reporters, designers and photographers
for InSITE.
The
deadline for submission is June 5th 2004.
