PUPILS at a Ryedale secondary school took part in a national campaign aimed at raising the profile of journalism.

About 90 pupils from Malton School joined about 1,000 schools across the UK yesterday in making the news.

The pupils were taking part in BBC News School Report, a BBC project to engage 11-16-year-olds in the news.

Over the past few months the students in Year 7 have been working hard, training to be top journalists, carrying out interviews and producing reports.
