大象传媒

It is an annual opportunity for anyone aged 11-18 in the UK to submit an original story idea to the 大象传媒.

大象传媒 Young Reporter Competition winners have the unique chance to tell their story on TV, radio, online or on social media with the help of 大象传媒 journalists, producers and programme makers.

We ask young people for original and true stories about their lives and the world they live in and to explain their personal connection to the story and why they want to tell it to a wider audience.

Following regional and national judging, 18 winning stories have been selected for 2024.

See the full list of 大象传媒 Young Reporter Competition 2024 winners here.

The winning stories will be produced and broadcast across the 大象传媒 in 2024, including on The One Show, 大象传媒 Breakfast, 大象传媒 5 Live, 大象传媒 News and 大象传媒 Local Radio programmes, as well as online and on social media platforms.

You can see the 2023 winning stories here previous winners’ stories are here and here.

Stories are judged on editorial merit – that means the strength of story, its originality, and the personal connection or background behind it.

All story ideas are checked prior to final judging to make sure they are factually true, accurate and legally sound.

Judges select national and regional winners.

They include editors from across the 大象传媒 as well as presenters and reporters, including from 大象传媒 News Naga Munchetty and Ashley John-Baptiste, The One Show’s Alex Jones, along with Pria Rai from Newsbeat and Newsround’s Ricky Boleto.
