Dozens of teens break the news: 2011 and 2012 headlines as varied as the teen staffers who wrote them

YDC covered lawmakers, law breakers, entertainers, disdainers, complainers and explainers in 2011.

Lifestyle sections ran features on food, tech innovations and the road to college.

Entertainment sections covered blockbusters and movies or books best described as “acquired tastes.” News stories gave essential information about ways college-aged or poor voters may be deprived of voting in the 2012 election, an important First Amendment case that involved teen journalists, organizations that serve families at risk or aging animals, and so much more.

Editors reached out to get teen-in-the-street interviews for Soapbox questions that included:

What are your views on gun control?

What do you remember of Sept. 11, 2001? How did it have an impact on your life?

What are your views on the presidential and/or local elections?

How do you feel about teenage girls buying the Plan B contraceptive without a prescription?

YDC cartoonists had a great 2011 showing what was all too true about politicians, students and posers.
