News Movement is a nonpartisan Michigan based journalism education program, developed under 20 Books Inc., an incentive-based pro-literacy 501(c)3 nonprofit founded in 2011, that works with news industry leaders including writers, photographers, videographers, graphic designers and web developers to teach and engage middle school and high school students about the news industry, newsroom roles and how to use various platforms.
