00:00Traditional media still holds an important standing among millennials, with some even
00:09preferring printed newspaper over the digital platforms as their primary source of their
00:14daily news.
00:15With this in mind, Gulf News invited five young millennial guest editors into the newsroom
00:20for a day to curate their own front page.
00:24With the help of seasoned editors and reporters from the newsroom, they went through the stages
00:28involved in putting together a front page for a large daily paper.
00:32The credibility of newspapers and the spread of fake news on social media are among the
00:37key factors that seem to drive the millennials to conventional media over the digital sources,
00:43and while they still acquire news from modern digital sources, print and traditional formats
00:49hold a very real appeal to the younger audiences.
00:53The guest editors were chosen from among young readers of Gulf News as the newspaper
00:58strives to understand the perspective of millennials and give them a voice.
01:03Each participant was embedded with a different section of the newspaper, and they were given
01:08a first-hand experience of how news is produced and the workings of a media organization works.
