Newsround Press Pack: What is it and how can YOU join in?

Welcome to Newsround's Press Pack! We want YOUR stories!

Being able to tell you what's making the news around the world - and explaining why it matters - is what Newsround is all about.

But we are also focused on hearing from YOU. Your voices, your news - telling us what matters in your life. And that's what Press Pack is all about!

It's your chance to be a Press Pack reporter - to tell us your news: What your interests are, what you are passionate about, your achievements and what issues are important to you.

You can send us an idea for a video or even make us a report with words and photos and we'll turn some of them into a Press Pack report for our website and maybe for the Newsround bulletin too.

Sometimes we might even come to you or your school to help you make it!

How do I get involved with Press Pack?

Well the first thing to think about is what news story you want to tell us:

• We need to know what your story is and all the important facts of who, what, where and how!

• A picture tells a thousand words, so don't forget to include as many photos or videos as you can

• Remember to make sure your facts are correct - no fake news!

• Plus we need an adult we can contact about it
