News Diet Challenge 2020
Take the News Diet Challenge to win a virtual Q&A session with an ABC journalist!
For Media Literacy Week 2020, we are asking students in Years 7–10 to monitor their news consumption and create a 90-second video describing their news "diet".
How do you get your news? Does your news diet contain more politics than sports, more entertainment than world news? What types of stories do you consume? What are your sources? Do you have a balanced news diet?
Our competition toolkit will help you explore your daily news diet and show us what you’ve learned.
Enter on your own or as a group. Check out entries from last year for inspiration and find loads of useful resources on the Media Literacy website.
Opens: 21 September 2020, 9am (AEST) Closes: 20 November 2020, 5pm (AEDT)
1. Upload your entry
Tell your parents what you're creating and uploading here. DO NOT use real names anywhere on your entry! You don't need to register or log in, just fill the entry form and upload your image. Make-up a Display name for your entry.
Students can work individually or in a group. If you're a teacher, parent or guardian, you can upload entries for your students/children.
2. Be nice
Treat others the way you'd like to be treated. Don't pick on other people, and don't include anything that might be hurtful or threatening, or encourages people to be unsafe.
3. Get permission
Make sure the stuff you upload is all your own work. If you do want to include something made by somebody else, make sure you have their permission. Don't break any copyright laws. The sorts of things you commonly need to get permission for include: music, videos, images, audio, text, logos and trademarks.
Don't post any personal details. Make sure you have the signed permission of any people appearing in your entry, and if you're working with anyone 16 years old or under, you need their parents' consent too. Here's a Participant Release form you can use.
Be aware of brand logos (for example, on someone's t-shirt or a can of drink). If you feature a brand too much, we may need to reject your entry.
4. Sharing your content
Only upload your content to this site if you don't mind sharing it with everyone and you are happy for the ABC to use it on ABC websites, in ABC apps and maybe for broadcast on ABC TV.
5. All entries are moderated
We look at every entry before publishing it on the site, so it may take a few days before your entry appears in the gallery. If we're unable to publish your entry, we'll send you an email explaining why.
