Junior journalist opportunities

Please see this week’s opportunities listed below. If you are interested in any of them, please email [email protected].

Write a book review and have it featured in First News!

Do you have thoughts on a book you have read recently that you want to share with others? Why not write a book review for us? Here’s what you’ll need to do:

  • Write 100-120 words on any type of book – chapter books, graphic novels, fiction, non-fiction… even audiobooks are all welcome! No person, reader type, format or genre is excluded
  • Tell us what the book is about, what you most enjoyed about it, how the book made you feel and if you had any favourite parts
  • Suggest which type of reader would enjoy it
  • A picture of the reader holding the book is welcome, too, but not essential
  • You could even submit a review as a whole class

Send all book reviews in to [email protected] or by clicking the button below.

Feature in Your News!

If you want to be a junior journalist for First News and go to cool press events or write about something that you’re passionate about, get in touch by asking a trusted adult to email us at [email protected]. Or, get your teacher to sign up to the First News FYI News Club at first.news/fyinewsclub.
