Student News Day in Saskatchewan is an opportunity for young people to tell a story about an issue important to them, and for you to learn more about the stories that matter most to our province's youth. Our thanks to the Prairie Valley School Division, Charity Marsh and the University of Regina, the File Hills Qu'Appelle Tribal Council Health Services and the staff and students of Bert Fox High School for their generous support. Here are the stories.

Welcome to CBC-Saskatchewan's Student News Day Project website!

Over the course of the next six weeks 9 students from Fort Qu'Appelle's Bert Fox high school will participate in the "Student News Day" project. Throughout this period the students will attend workshops on storytelling, creating a pitch, writing for different media, interviewing techniques, recording sounds, shooting video, editing, and on-line storytelling.

Prior to the start of the project, students were asked to pitch a story that had a connection to their community as part of the application process. From these pitches a number of stories are being developed. The overall goals of the project are for the students to create 2 news stories for television, 2 news stories for radio, an interactive blog, and 2 stories for additional on-line formats (YoutTube, Facebook, etc.). The news stories will be aired in mid-March, while the on-line media formats will be launched throughout the six weeks at different stages.

The team working with the students and mentoring them through this intensive project consists of experts in various areas of media and broadcast journalism.
