It was all part of the 麻豆约拍’s School Report News Day that involves 30,000 school children and 900 schools around the country. Around 130 students and 30 teaching staff from schools across the north came into Media City for workshops to enhance their digital and journalistic skills.

The D+E team collaborated with the 麻豆约拍 Academy to run a series of workshops that ended with the youngsters taking their own photographs around the Salford base and then publishing them on to the 麻豆约拍’s creativity platform Mixital.

At the end of the workshops the youngsters were set the challenge of gathering their own photos around Media City to tell a story of urban regeneration. Back in the newsroom, the youngsters edited their photos, selected the best and wrote captions. They then published them on Mixital and .
