With support from its parent organization, the Upper Peninsula Children’s Museum, and its strong media partners: Marquette Monthly, The Mining Journal, Q107-WMQT, and WNMU Public Radio 90, the bureau’s young journalists deliver to adults the unique and vital perspectives and insight of children on important issues such as health, education and politics. At the same time, the program allows for natural mentoring opportunities through the interaction of story teams made up of older and younger kids.
