A media‑competence initiative called "NewsUp" brings together young people and established news outlets. School classes participating in the project are tasked with creating journalistic formats of their own design. The ideas generated by the students are evaluated by the organizers. The most promising concepts are taken forward by several Austrian media organisations. These organisations include DER STANDARD, the Austrian Press Agency, ORF and Wiener Zeitung. By implementing the student proposals, the partners aim to enhance practical journalism skills among pupils.
