Do you have a story to tell about your community, your culture, your views? Do you want to see more stories that accurately reflect who you are? CMY is looking for young people from diverse backgrounds aged 18–25 to work on a unique media project.
The Multicultural Media Exchange (MME) project has a mission to make the mainstream media more representative of all Australians. We match young people with professional journalist mentors to help you improve your skills and create the stories you think should be told.

You need to attend a training session where we will also get to know you and your interests so you can be matched with a mentor. You and your mentor will then meet to begin developing your stories.
Your mentor will help you decide on how to tell your stories, what research to do, who to interview, and how to write or edit it so that it reaches as many people as possible. When your story is ready, your mentor will send it to MME and we work with our partners, such as Leader Community Newspapers, to publish or distribute your story.

Who are the mentors?

Our volunteer mentors are some of Victoria’s best journalists and include Alan Atwood (Editor, The Big Issue), Martin Flanagan (author and The Age writer), Hugo Kelly (Crikey co-founder), Anita Barruad (ABC Radio National) and Nick McKenzie (The Age) as well as reporters, editors and broadcasters from The Herald Sun, MX Magazine, SBS and the ABC.
You will be individually matched with a mentor who shares your interests, respects your culture and wants to learn more about your community. MME will support you to develop a good working relationship with your mentor.
