The Chicago-based hip hop magazine FlyPaper is coming back to life and the editors are looking for contributions from young people. Articles can be a mix of 1st person and reported (think Village Voice-style) and the writer should lean in on their personal tone and style. Topics: "The focus has a crazy wide latitude – anything that is interesting for this demographic to write about (age 15-25) that is at least a little Hip Hop Adjacent." Photos will be required.

Poynter is looking for examples of student journalists breaking news, showing history as it happens, covering local government and filling the local news gap.

She may only be talking about college media but I'm sure Poynter would be happy to see examples from high school media filling the same role.
Send examples to Kristen Hare, khare@poynter.org
