Why I'm giving control of the Daily Mirror to a group of teenagers this week

Welcome to MirrorNextGen.

This is a ground-breaking project by the Mirror in a bid to put the things British teenagers care about at the heart of the national conversation.

The Mirror has a long history of giving a voice to those who may otherwise go unheard - like young people. 

So often nowadays teenagers are dismissed as not doing much beyond staring at their phones or their trainers. They've been derided as ‘the snowflake generation’. 

So we asked them to tell us what are the issues they really care about. For one day we have handed over the keys - or keyboards - of the Mirror to let them run our news and features coverage in print and online.

We hope you enjoy what you discover.. and discover a lot.

Don't forget to pick up your special MirrorNextGen edition of the Daily Mirror this Wednesday - and check out mirror.co.uk on the same day to see the online takeover.
