Since 2017, the Journalism for Juniors (J4J) Project has organized Digital Journalism Workshops for young people in Türkiye, and around the world. J4J is a social awareness project which aims to address social inequality, and develop a new culture of humanitarianism by taking direct action guided by TRT’s human-centric journalism and broadcasting approach. Journalism for Juniors – written and oral storytelling as well as the basics of introductory journalism – encourages young people to develop storytelling skills, and to share their stories with the world through digital platforms, by learning filming and editing techniques with mobile devices such as phones and tablets.
