Pushing for youth journalism equity

The Bell proudly leads the Youth Journalism Coalition, a diverse group of more than 200 students and adults working to ensure equitable access to journalism opportunities for New York City’s young people.

YJC student members meet with journalists from Headway at The New York Times in March 2024.

Our student internship programs

We specialize in audio journalism training for New York City public high school students.

“It’s been an inspiring experience showing I can do anything I put my mind to even when I doubt myself.”

— Fredlove, student reporter

“The students are beyond impressive, and working with them helped remind me why I love this medium so much.”

— Cat, podcasting mentor

“The ways in which the student perspectives shine light on the NYC school system’s inequities are honest and thorough.”
