My student Holly Hostettler-Davies is up for a national award in the UK. Please consider voting for this incredible young woman who is a fierce advocate for sexual and reproductive health and rights. She more than deserves it. Here's the link: www.nationaldiversityawards.co.uk/awards-2025/...

This is not normal. This government gets closer and closer every day to declaring war on its own people. This post is a clear and direct statement of intention to defy the Supreme Court and end rule of law in the United States.

Watching the livestream from the Old North Church, waiting to hear Heather Cox Richardson's speech.

She took her birthright citizenship for granted. Then Trump signed an executive order in an attempt to eliminate it. Read this debut piece by a new student at Youth Journalism International, with an illustration by a newcomer from the UK: youthjournalism.org/being-an-ame...

This was one of the best articles I have ever written!!!! ❤️🧡

I hope everyone who couldn't stomach the supposedly awful stance that the Biden administration took on Gaza and refused to support Kamala Harris is happy now. 🤬

Youth Journalism International's Noah Haynes interviewed one of only two Greenlandic reps in the Danish Parliament for a story on Trump's threats against Greenland. Whether you see it as a joke or a concern, read the story here: youthjournalism.org/greenland-le... @yjinow.bsky.social

A lot of my work is unseen, even to the most careful observer. I've spent long hours for almost a week, admitting new students and onboarding them. (This takes a lot longer than you might think.)It's a pretty terrific group of kids from 27 countries on five continents. Excited to see them in action!

Haven't posted much, been busy working to develop the next generation of journalists. In December I was publishing their work from Youth Journalism International's 2024 Global Conference in Mexico City - here's the landing page. Go forth and read it all! youthjournalism.org/home-2-3-2-2...

Lee Jae-myung, Leader of South Korea's Democratic Party, live-streamed himself scaling the walls of the National Assembly to bypass military barricades so that he could vote to overturn the President's martial law.

If you are following this hateful poster I suggest dropping them.

Hello friends! Thanks to all my new followers. :) Wanted to share this interesting review of the new 'Wicked" movie by my @yjinow.bsky.social student Anjola Fashawe in London. #wicked #moviereview #journalism #education #youthjournalisminternational Find it here: youthjournalism.org/wicked-wasnt...

Excellent point.

Climate change is disrupting weather patterns and causing extreme weather events that have and will cost you money and hurt you and your family. Please take action to help cut climate pollution and ask elected officials and candidates to act on climate. It’s urgent.

Today one of my students let me know that she 1.) won a poetry contest and 2.) wanted to donate her cash prize to Youth Journalism International.🥰 @yjinow.bsky.social

Happy that our executive director, @jackiemajerus.bsky.social, was named as a Friend of Scholastic Journalism this month by the Journalism Education Association. She's forging a future for journalism every damn day.

So, I'm here, too.
