Splash 90sec News Challenge
ABC Splash's Making the News "90-second News Challenge" invited students to grab their smartphones and deliver a report in response to the question, "What do we need to know about your community?". See gallery for all reports
One example: Libraries in decline
Although the MAKE THE NEWS event has finished you may like to check out the completed reports.
Teams of junior reporters have created news stories on sustainability issues in their local communities as part of Splash Live! See the below reports and more over on the Splash Live gallery page. View all of the videos
