Hi all,

I totally agree with you britexpat they have to change their attitude towards journalism before teaching it to others.

Register any adolescents who are interested in press freedom. Bring photos, ID, and sample of DNA. What could possibly go wrong?!

The current state of journalism is dire at the Peninsula. How would they teach the youngsters ?

It is kind of free training to young boys and girls who would like to explore the opportunity in journalism...

Indeed a very good initiative from Peninsula for the Youth.

They can't do any worse than the current staff. Can we now expect a glut of teenagers scouring QL for news-worthy stories?
