Description
The BBC World Service has been broadcasting high-quality, impartial international news around the world for over 80 years. Today they deliver news in 27 languages, via TV, radio, online and mobile to over 180 million people around the world.
As the global youth population rises, the BBC is focused on understanding the changes we need to make in order to continue to provide younger audiences with unbiased and independent news and information so they can make their own, well informed, opinions about the changes taking place in the world around them.
Therefore BBC World Service have joined forces with YCN to launch Bring the News to Life, to identify emerging creative talent and discover how they would bring the BBC World Service brand to life in a creative way which is relevant to them.
