Youth Press Gallery
Like Youth Parliament, the Youth Press Gallery duplicates as realistically as possible the actual workings of the Parliamentary Press Gallery.
The media, who report what’s being said and done in Parliament, are an
important part of democracy – they let the general public know what’s
happening.
The Youth Press Gallery for Youth Parliament 2007 was made up of 10
young people who reported on Youth Parliament debates, select
committees and the general happenings of Youth Parliament and were
published in mainstream newspapers, radio stations and on our
website.
Radio, TV and
print journalists were brought in to talk to the Youth Press Gallery
about what it’s actually
like to be one!
