For the more advanced writer, you can contribute to Generate by submitting a feature article for us to publish on the site. Feature articles are generally longer than news items and are less dependant on timeliness and currency. They deal with broader themes or may look at a specific subject from a range of angles.
Ideas for feature articles could include:
The media often portray young people in a negative way. With our feature articles on Generate we are hoping to assist young people and young peoples organisations to generate more positive stories about young peoples interests, issues and achievements.
If your submission is a positive article relevant to the general topic of youth participation in community/decision-making and meets other simple conditions outlined in our editorial policy, then it will almost always be published.
To find out more about how to submit features to Generate please download our Content Submission Form. This form can also be used to submit news articles for our News section.
If you need help with writing a feature article, you will find some writing tips in Generating the News - A young persons guide to getting media attention, available from the Generate Library.
Government departments and non-profit/community organisations are also invited to submit relevant feature articles targetting young people.
If you have any questions about submitting news please feel free to contact Generate.
