About

The Young Post is the first of its kind - an international youth run news company and online publication of a never before achieved scale that embodies fearless youth journalism, endears integrity, maturity and professionalism, and produces journalism by young people for everyone; all the while being led by the world's most prestigious youth editorial board.

Half of humanity is below the age of 30 today.

Naturally, the journalism that this half of human civilisation consumes must be one that restricts itself to the highest standards of integrity, professionalism and maturity, right? Wrong.

Here's what's gone wrong - Young people aren't getting the news they deserve to read.

The world has never before needed mature, balanced, professional and independent youth journalism to feed so much information of so much importance to so many young people. And as that hunger grows, the best the world has to offer are viral gossip sites, inane quizzes and a nonsensical celebration of the mundane. An entire generation is at risk of falling prey to the spread of the mediocre and the glorification of the useless. That won't do. Not one bit.

They say youth journalism is like a scissor - it needs the twin blades of integrity and fearlessness to cut deepest into the hearts and minds of society. Well integrity was shattered a long time ago, and The Young Post wants to bring it back.

More than a publication, we're a movement - a movement to restore the prestige and integrity of a field that badly deserves healthy servings of both.

The Young Post works on the following principles and relies on the following cogs to work:

Mature journalism - The Young Post's foundation is built on producing quality journalism that either analyses world events from a young perspective or serves as hard hitting investigative journalism. Here, only stories that matter and events that shape the world are shared with young audiences across the globe, written in a way that allows them to make informed decisions.

Quality > Business - The Young Post employs a unique administrative model that allows our award winning editorial board to make most major business and financial decisions, thereby allowing The Young Post to focus on quality content that shapes young opinions above profits. While money is essential for the success of any endeavour, it only takes second place on our priority list.

Mesmerising reader experience - The Young Post's website is being designed and built only by some of the most talented websmiths, coders, and designers that we could get our hands on. The site promises to be highly user centric, fluid, and minimal. The Young Post is designed with the reader, and not advertisers, in mind.

Stories from a young perspective - The Young Post strives to get more people to see news from a younger perspective. While liberal and conservative pundits debate on education, healthcare, economic and foreign policy all day long, nobody seems to care enough about the perspectives and opinions of the people most adversely affected by long term policy - young people. The Young Post presents analysis and news in a way that allows young people to understand, interpret, and share news on events that shape the world.

International engagement - Through our International Correspondents Network (a global program that allows individuals to communicate stories from the ground to us as they happen, as well serve as the first people we turn to for quotes on a relevant story) as well as the scale of our global staff, The Young Post promises to build a home for youth journalism of an unprecedented scale and quality, while sticking to our core values of integrity, maturity, professionalism, and quality.

The Young Post is a well-oiled machine. We don't have a choice really. When you have a staff as large, enthusiastic, and talented as ours - with staff from Stanford on the West Coast to nearly every Ivy League college on the East coast - structure is what makes or breaks the entire deal.

Meet the (senior) family:

To truly materialise The Young Post's potential, we need your help.

Naturally, you might have some important, non-FAQ questions before you decide to pledge.

We're not in this for the money, and we certainly aren't building The Young Post only to sell it off and enjoy surfing in the Bahamas later. Our vision for The Young Post - a vision we hope you'll share - is to build something sustainable, independent, and free of as much unnecessary monetary influence as possible.

For that to happen, The Young Post needs to be crowd funded.

But the 40,000 USD price tag for a youth run publication might be unnerving you, so consider the level of quality and extensive reach your pledge will help fund:

You'll also be funding the International Correspondents Network - the world's first large scale youth correspondence and news gathering initiative, as well as several other exciting projects that The Young Post is busy cooking up.

Take a minute today to help us build a stage like no other - the baritone of whose voices will one day shake a generation and inspire young people everywhere to raise their voices.

Help us build The Young Post.

The worst thing that could happen is that you accidentally spark a revolution in young news media. The best thing that can happen is probably far beyond both our wildest imaginations.
