Youth Voices - 8-18 Media

Stories from 8-18 Media provide a way for us to hear the voices of area youth and learn about topics that are of interest to them.

8-18 Media is a youth development and leadership program of the Upper Peninsula Children’s Museum in Marquette, Michigan. The program’s mission is to empower youth by giving them a significant voice in the world. 8-18 Media provides a news service reported and edited by young people ages 8 to18. Stories focus on issues that affect kids and are of interest to all ages.

The young journalists work in teams to cover stories. They determine what topics to cover, research, develop the story angle, conduct interviews and edit the stories. Print stories appear regularly in Marquette Monthly magazine. Radio stories are broadcast throughout the Upper Peninsula each week on WMQT Radio and WNMU Public Radio 90 in Marquette. Stories have appeared in national outlets including the New York Times News Service, Boston Globe, Philadelphia Inquirer, and Los Angeles Times.
