orangelog.eu – Letter of Intent

Orangelog.eu aims to provide an interactive, multimedial platform for event coverage and should operate as a cooperative platform between the participating countries.

The European Youth Press (EYP) aims to enable young people to give voice to their opinion on a European level and provide a critical view of media and politics through journalistic education as well as learning by doing.

All over Europe Interest

• It’s not important how international an event itself is, as long as there are interesting stories for a European audience.
• We focus on the cultural part of each event and report about the differences and the commonalities of the participating countries.

Multimedia

• We aim to create a big pool of information of each event. This should include videos, pod casts, pictures and different kinds of texts.

Language

• Orangelog.eu is an English-based platform. But it also should be possible for the participating countries to create their own sub site in their own native language.
• We aim to form a group of people, who are experienced in English language to support the editors writing in English.

Journalistic Quality

• There shall be an editor-in-field for each event.
• Every participant can write about the event. In order to learn from our different experiences the teams shall be a mixture of beginners and more professional people.

Initiator

• The EYP board is responsible for orangelog.eu and should have a network of responsible people in every participating country.
• The EYP board has the right to decide on the relevance of events.
• At the beginning there are no fixed regarding the number or duration of the editorial staff. But there are one or two moderators to overlook the page and the commentaries in order to prevent unlawful activities.

Further development

• Concluding the first event does not mean an end to the work on the platform.
• If the platform is running well we aim to expand it to a theme network and we aim to expand the relationship between the readers and writers.
• Besides some information about how to become a journalist and write in a proper way we aim to provide a culture-calendar with events.
