Young people from Headliners have been busy over the last few months making a series of TV features for the BBC.
Watch the reports >>
Commissioned by BBC Blast and BBC Northern Ireland News, the reports cover issues that young people feel are important to them.
Five of these stories were screened on BBC Northern Ireland's flagship regional television news programme BBC Newsline, each weekday at 6.30pm from Monday 20 August 2007.
The reports were researched, filmed and presented by twelve young people who are members of Headliners projects in Belfast and Foyle.
The stories cover a wide range of topics including a report about the ever increasing use of text language in our schools and a quirky report about local peoples’ apparent lack of geographical knowledge.
The Headliners members involved were Daniel McCrisken,17; Ruth Magennis, 18; Tammy-Louise Clinton, 15; Joseph Smyth, 16; Hugh Simpson, 16; and Sonya Gorman, 16 who are all members of our Belfast Newsroom. The Foyle-based members were Emmet Barr, 18; Niall Bradley, 18; Emma Arbuckle, 15; Brian Smyth, 17; Terri McLaughlin, 17; and Gavin Moran, 17.
