“My Dream Interview” Festival draws youth to newspapers
Newspapers from around the world are invited to participate in a new
global journalism experience for youth organised by the World
Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) that results in
young people interviewing entertainment stars or other public figures –
and increased circulation for participating newspapers.
The “My Dream Interview” international youth reporter festival of
success stories, supported by the Fundacion Acindar of Argentina, asks
school teams of 11- to 15-year olds to choose a prominent person they
would like to interview, then come up with the questions to ask.
The school teams submit their idea and questions to the participating
newspaper, which chooses the best set of questions, helps the winning
team conduct the interview, and publishes it. Newspapers can then enter
the interview in a worldwide WAN-IFRA competition, with the winners
presented at a ceremony at the IFRA Expo in Madrid in October.
Winning interviews will be distributed globally by The Interview People,
with all royalties going to winning schools.
Already on board are La Nacion of Argentina, The Monitor of Uganda,
Polskapresse of Poland, The West Australian, and many others. The registration deadline is 29 February. WAN-IFRA is also providing a guide to
newspapers to help teachers work with students on creating a
journalistic interview. (WAN-IFRA)
