Lenses is a 100% teen-organized news platform that provides teenagers with the chance to share their thoughts and beliefs about the headlines that we see on a daily basis. Our community aims to get teenagers’ ideas on ‘adult issues’ and provide accessible and simplified news to our readers, who may not always have the chance to stay up to date with the daily news. Lenses intends to highlight the fact that though we all have different perspectives and ‘lenses’ when it comes to various issues, each of our beliefs matter and is worth sharing with the community. Through a combination of long and short form articles, as well as short descriptions of important daily news on our social media, we intend to help all teenagers stay informed about the world around them and learn about what other Gen-Z members think when it comes to each of these issues.
