Under the direction and mentoring of seasoned Olympic media professionals, IOC Young Reporters undertake both general and specialised training in various aspects of sports reporting and the coverage of major events such as the Olympic Games. The course looks at what makes a good sports story, how to tell it informatively and entertainingly, when and how to look for more background detail, and why
accuracy, fairness and journalistic ethics remain the pillars of sports reporting. Photographers work in the venues, side by side with an award-winning sports photographer, mentoring them. They learn first-hand what makes a great sports photo, about colour and composition, how to create a sense of place, how to edit and file, and how to use the latest professional equipment. For broadcast training, the Young Reporters learn the nuances between news stories, colour stories, live coverage and interviews. They learn how to craft a script to enhance the video images captured, as well as the skills required for editing and creating stories for special genre programming. The integration of social media, data analysis and dedicated reporting on new media platforms will form a core component of the Young Reporters training. The IOC Young Reporters Programme is run in conjunction with the Youth Olympic Games - Singapore 2010, Innsbruck 2012, Nanjing 2014, Lillehammer 2016. The next Young Reporters’ initiative will bring 30 young reporters from five continents to the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 06–18 October 2018, with the programme running from 30 September — 19 October 2018.
