Another project of News 21 is Syracuse University's video journalism contest for teens called "The Young and the Wireless." Contestants must create a "webisode" in the style of a soap opera.

 

News 21 schools also include UC Berkeley, USC, Columbia, Northwestern, and many others. Students discuss journalism through a social networking platform at News 21's Ning site.

 

The program is part of the Carnegie Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism.
