The short answer is that you can’t.
YJI only publishes articles by its students. You are welcome to apply to sign up to participate in YJI. It’s free. Just click on the JOIN tab above and fill in the form there. Be aware, though, that we are way behind in accepting new students into the program. We are trying to raise money to speed up the process.
Dear Sir,
From what you said, I can grasp that even if I filled in the form and joined, I still couldn’t publish my articles on the website – only YJI’s students can. But what did you mean by “its students”? How can I be a student of YJI and post my article? I’m dying to know
Students submit stories and other material to YJI’s editors, who work with them to edit, and then pieces are published. Typically, at the moment, that happens on YJI’s blog but they can be published in other places. Some are also published on this website.
Students do not publish anything directly. Only YJI’s editors can do that.
Thank you so much for your help. I now have known a great deal more about YJI. If I submit my form and become a member later, I can send my work to the editors (supposing through this address :yjieditor@gmail.com) and hopefully it will be published, right? Thank you once again.
i want to know how could i be a journalist after pursuing the b.tech in computer science as a want a table job in journalist field….its my passion..and i don’t want to leave my passion as it is….please guide me…
I hope you received our email urging you to write about your hometown or some other thing as a way of leaping into the ranks. But whether or not you did, the reality is that some people have been waiting a long time. We want you, yet we don’t have the staff to process every student onto the rolls or to work with more as intensely and well as we require.
Those who have been waiting a long while should check our new FAQ section for ideas on what they can do.
i have already filled my join in form but at that time i dont know so much YJI but after going all through the detail and your efforts i would love to be a member of YJI. because now it has became my dream and i promise that i ‘ll show to YJI.
please reply to me as soon as possible because i am desperately waiting for your reply.
and my question is that how will summit our news to you.
thank you.
I wanted to know that once we become YJI students and our articles get published on the site do we get some sort of recognition as in certificates or something like that?
No. We do issue YJI press passes to students who are active in the organization and have written enough that we have faith in their skills. But publication is recognition enough for beginners.
We work with students one on one to write stories and get them published. Read the article from Hartford magazine and you may get a glimmer of how it all comes together.
It can take a long time. We are very far behind. It is the main reason that YJI is searching far and wide for the funding we need to bring on full-time staff. Our waiting list is absurdly long and we have no ability to bring on board most of the people who want to join. That’s the sad reality.
I have just submitted my application form in hope i’d get my response soon, however after reading the answers of comments and questions from people who are also interested i understand the whole acceptance process needs a long time. I’m wondering whether or not I’m allowed to send another application if my previous application has not yet been confirmed?
how do i enter the one direction contest i don’t think i did it right i emailed it in u really want to win so if i did it wrong can someone please tell me… thanksso much

This is, unfortunately, common. It is not because we don’t want you. It’s because we are getting applications at a rate far beyond our capacity to cope. We hate to disappoint anyone, but the reality is that until we find a way to increase our funding, many students are simply not going to get the chance to participate.
By the way, we don’t reject anybody. If you don’t hear from us, please don’t take it as a rejection. We simply don’t have the ability to review and respond to all the people who are seeking to join our program.
At the moment, we do not have an internship program. However, if you have an idea about a specific project you could do to help us, we would be interested in hearing from you.

Does that means that the one who will pay he can only join?
I think so…
Students do not have to pay anything to join. Participation in YJI is free.
When you’ve signed up and been accepted into the program, how can your articles be published?
Thank you so much for your help. I now have known a great deal more about YJI. If I submit my form and become a member later, I can send my work to the editors (supposing through this address :yjieditor@gmail.com) and hopefully it will be published, right? Thank you once again.
Good initiative for young journalists. Congratulations.

Hey I have applied since about a year ago and when will I know if I got accepted or not?
I hope you received our email urging you to write about your hometown or some other thing as a way of leaping into the ranks.

I have not received the email, I look forward to hear from YJI. Thank you.

Any solution for it cause i dont think so that it is an issue to make any of student wait, sir …
I have just submitted my application form in hope i’d get my response soon, however after reading the answers of comments and questions from people who are also interested i understand the whole acceptance process needs a long time. I’m wondering whether or not I’m allowed to send another application if my previous application has not yet been confirmed?
It would be better to send us an email — joinyji@gmail.com — and tell us a little about yourself and mention that you have already applied.
how do i enter the one direction contest i don’t think i did it right i emailed it in u really want to win so if i did it wrong can someone please tell me… thanksso much

Hi Steve,
I would like to know about Internship Program, if u provide one?
Thank you
At the moment, we do not have an internship program. However, if you have an idea about a specific project you could do to help us, we would be interested in hearing from you.
Hi, I just wanted to ask if the age limit on the contest is strictly followed. Can 22 year olds apply?
No, 22-year-olds are not eligible. We have to enforce the age limits to be fair to everyone.
