Media has a significant influence on democracy. The coverage of issues concerning democracy in the media is smaller than we would like, and should be more popular with the general public. Therefore, the public should be more involved in creating more content on these issues from different points of view. We can produce the content on matters that interest us the most.
Aims of the project
The project has four aims;
- Attract young journalists to create content on pan-European issues for quality media
- Attract young adults to create content on pan-European issues for easy to reach media
- Educate people in creating content for easy to reach media
- Educate people in approaching quality media and how to ´sell´ a story
