yarraReporter is a training program giving public housing estate residents in the City of Yarra the skills and means to publish stories that matter to them and their community.
This civic journalism project is an initiative of Infoxchange Australia to build skills, capacity, social contribution and leadership amongst residents by modelling cooperative social change in community activities, local news gathering, editing, writing, interviewing and internet-broadcasting.
The work seen on this website is a combination of the trained yarraReporters, journalists and the University students that help facilitate the courses and is updated regularly. If you would like to get involved, please contact us.
