Youth Journalism Group

2015 sees the launch of shmu's brand new youth journalism group. They will be out and about, covering stories for the shmu website and each of the community magazines. Watch this space for updates on what they are up to. The group have already started working on articles which will be included in the spring editions of the community magazines. For their first assigment we got them to write a short paragraph to introduce themselves to shmu's usual followers.

Yasmin

Hi! My name is Yasmin. My hobbies include horse riding, dancing, swimming and coming here to SHMU. I participate in lots of things at SHMU which includes film and radio. I really like art at school. If people were to describe me in three words they say hyper, sassy and outgoing. If you are nice to me I will be nice to you too, if you’re nasty to me I can turn in to one of your worst enemies. If I could interview a famous person I would pick One Direction and I would ask them if they would marry me. Hopefully you listen out for me on the radio, peace out!
