The teens cover the factors influencing health and safety, report on solutions, write articles published in media outlets and create social media posts. We train diverse middle and high school students to report on the social factors and disparities influencing the health of their communities. We pay them to take our training and often move them into paid internship and later staff roles. Working with experienced journalists around the U.S., these young people create content that gives voice to those who are often marginalized. Their multimedia journalism appears on urbanhealthmedia.org and in many other publications, especially those targeting communities of color. Our work has been in outlets including USA TODAY, The Afro, the Washington Informer, Washington Blade (we have a publishing partnership with the Blade), the Indianapolis Star and Miami New Times.
