Daegu City Announces Recruitment for 6th Children's Reporters... 350 Elementary Students to Cover Local Field Reports

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Daegu City announced on the 1st that it is recruiting the 6th Children's Reporters Group, which will capture interesting stories hidden throughout the region in 2021 and share dreams and memories.

The target and number of recruits are 350 students in grades 3 to 5 of elementary school. Applicants must join the Daegu Children's Reporters Club as club members by December 4th, fill out an application form, and submit one news article they have written themselves.

Those selected as children's reporters will have the opportunity to represent local children for one year starting next year, covering major priority policy sites, festivals, and events, and capturing Daegu City's interesting stories in articles.

Kwon Ki-dong, Daegu City's Public Relations Brand Officer, said, "We hope that children who had a hard time not being able to go to school due to COVID-19 found strength in reading articles written by their peers on various topics while wisely staying at home." He added, "Next year, we expect the children's reporters to gain experience by covering various places in the region and conducting on-site reporting."

Meanwhile, the Daegu Children's Reporters Group, launched in 2016, currently has 345 members in its 5th term. Although this year they were unable to conduct on-site reporting due to COVID-19, they have been introducing articles written on special topics every month through online newspapers and tabloid newspapers.
