If your country has student news outlets and it’s not listed here, send us an e-mail and we’ll add it to the list.
Students from the five continents produce newspapers, radio shows, magazines, blogs and podcasts that inform on a great variety of events and issues. After interviewing 20 student journalists from 15 countries worldwide, we can conclude that despite the cultural, language and geographical differences student journalists worldwide share similar ideals, ambitions and perspectives.
The similarities between the causes, justifications and outcomes of student press censorship cases around the world are also undeniable. This is further explained in the Censorship page.
The oldest and most developed student media in the world comes from the U.S. This is probably why most of the literature on student journalism and college student press refers to the American model. However, it is necessary to understand the nature of student journalism from other countries and detect their differences and similarities to create a truly international organization of student journalists. Having an international perspective of student journalism, will avoid the imposition of a specific media model in countries with different social, cultural and political aspects.
