TeenTix LA Newsroom
What is the TeenTix Newsroom?
The TeenTix Newsroom is a group of teen writers led by the Teen Editorial Staff. The Newsroom operates in line with the school-year schedule and runs continuously from September to June. Newsroom writers review events at TeenTix Arts Partners for the TeenTix blog - and GET PAID FOR THEIR WRITING! Made for teens to connect with other like-minded youth and write about art, the TeenTix Newsroom is a place for teen arts lovers to practice their writing skills. Along with a teen editor, who edits their work, teens attend an arts event for free. Afterward, they write a review that will be published on the TeenTix blog! For each review, writers work individually with an editor on the Teen Editorial Staff to polish their writing for publication.
Participation requires that you commit to reviewing at least one art event throughout the school year. Selecting which event you’ll review is a flexible commitment.
There are usually 30-40 teens in the Newsroom each year, ages 13 - 19, spanning grades 8 through early college students. As long as you are a teen, you can participate!
The Newsroom will be in both Seattle and Los Angeles. Teens from both cities will be able to participate.
