Marquette – 8-18 Media, the youth journalism bureau of the Upper Peninsula Children’s Museum, host a training session for new members for its Marquette and Ishpeming Bureaus on Saturday, October 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Children’s Museum in Marquette.
8-18 Media is a youth journalism, empowerment and leadership program open to all kids ages eight to 18. The members work in teams to produce stories on youth-related issues for Marquette Monthly, for radio stations Q107-WMQT and WNMU Public Radio 90 and for occasionally for other media outlets. Members choose and research topics, conduct interviews and write the stories.
The Marquette Bureau holds one monthly meeting for all members and schedules work on stories on an appointment basis. The Ishpeming Bureau, meanwhile, meets each Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. in the basement of the Ishpeming Carnegie Library.
The program is free and there is no academic prerequisite to join. Pre-registration for the training is encouraged. For more information or to register, call Dennis Whitley at 226-7874 or 226-3911 or email him at 818mediaupcm@gmail.com.
