The Journo Journey programme

This unique programme is a month-long activity with 8-18 year-olds living in large housing complexes to teach the A to Z of publishing.

The Journo Journey process — How ads and content will be collected for The Journo Journey programme

What will the paper be about

The participants will be taught to interview residents within the complex and write a journalistic article about them. They will also be taught the dynamics of sourcing ads, pricing them and designing them.

Where has it been done and what is the cost?

So far, such housing complex newspapers have been done in Ashok Towers (Parel, Mumbai), Close North (Gurugram) and Ambedkar Nagar (Worli, Mumbai). What’s unique about the project is that the housing society incurs zero expenses over it. The project cost is borne by the ads that are generated inhouse!

What they will learn

Journalistic Writing

The youngsters will learn how to write articles and stories, what is a news peg, how to decide on news stories and discerning skills

Interviewing skills

This generation finds it difficult to socialise, and hence this skill will help break that barrier. They will learn how to ask probing questions

Editing

They will learn to edit in a live class with Sridhar, especially how to shorten irrelevant copy, how to give headlines and structure the story

Project Planning

They will understand how to plan finances, work load, delegation, deadlines and working as a team to achieve a goal.

Space Selling

The newspaper will be self-financed by the advertisements that the editorial board will be required to get. They will learn how to price, pitch and sell the ads.

Graphic Designing

They will understand how to design advertisements for the paper and create infographics to make their newspaper more informative, impactful and colourful.

Photography

The stories will require photographs and this the editorial board will do. They will learn the basics of newspaper photography and how to take shots.

Circulation and pagemaking

They will see how a paper is designed and printed and finally, they will all be required to distribute the paper within your complex.

Glimpses of the fun!

Feedback

Parents were often left amazed — and deeply moved — at the transformation they witnessed. Many couldn’t believe that their usually quiet, complex children had opened up, explored ideas, and expressed themselves with such clarity and confidence. The Journo Journey programme not only helped their kids find their voice, but also gave parents a fresh perspective on just how thoughtful and articulate their children could be when given the right space and support

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this only for housing complexes in Mumbai?

No, it can be done across India. Sridhar will visit your complex to meet the children once the editorial board is set. Post that the meetings will be online, and coordination and training will be on WhatsApp and Zoom.

Do you need a particular number of children?

Yes, a minimum of 20 children are needed.

What is the cost of participation per child?

INR 5,000 payable upfront. This includes over 30 hours of training.

How much will the parents be involved?

One or two parents will need to get involved to oversee the project.

Can you give details about the paper and where it will be printed?

The quality of the paper, number of pages and whether it’s all colour, will be decided by the number of ads that the children manage to get. Hence, they will stay motivated because if they want a good paper, they need to work hard for it. Printing can be done in your city. If the complex wants to appoint its printer, the responsibility of the quality of the printing will rest on the housing complex.
