BBC News
School Report 2007/8
This is a national
BBC project in which young people make the news. On 13 March 2008
11 to 14 year-olds in over 200 schools around the UK will simultaneously
make their own news, which can be accessed via the project
website. Working to a real broadcast deadline, students will publish their video, audio and text-based reports on their school websites, to which the BBC will link, creating a UK-wide audience for their work. In addition, students will be given a voice on national and local TV and radio throughout the day.
