Nintendojo Launches Junior Writing Program to Nurture Future Video Game Journalists Nintendojo, one of the longest-running sources for Nintendo news and analysis, has announced an ambitious new initiative to cultivate the next wave of video game journalists: 'Nintendojo, Jr.' This pioneering program opens the door for student writers to contribute their perspectives on gaming, giving fresh voices an opportunity to participate in industry journalism from an early age. Founded in 1996, Nintendojo has consistently delivered informed coverage on Nintendo games, hardware—including the popular Nintendo Switch platform—and industry trends.

With years of experience in both journalism and the classroom, Nintendojo's editorial staff recognized the untapped creative potential among young gamers.

Inspired by the enthusiasm and talent observed among students, the team launched Nintendojo, Jr.

to bridge the gap between education and real-world publishing experience. "I’ve continually been impressed by the skill and insight of the students I teach, many of whom are passionate gamers and talented writers," said a member of Nintendojo’s editorial team.

"Through Nintendojo, Jr., these young creatives now have a platform to share their perspectives, while also building their writing portfolios." The new section will regularly feature work from student contributors, ranging from straightforward news stories to thoughtful editorials on Nintendo games and development.

The inaugural group of junior writers comprises middle school students Olivia Montalvo, Michael Nicolson, and Tyler Nubin.

These budding journalists are set to provide unique insights and commentary on topics such as Nintendo Switch releases, eShop updates, and industry milestones. Nintendojo’s editorial vision is to continue expanding the initiative, inviting additional junior writers to join the program in the coming months.

This step not only enriches Nintendojo’s content offering, but also underscores the site’s commitment to fostering the next generation of voices in video game journalism. For Nintendo news enthusiasts and industry professionals alike, Nintendojo, Jr.

promises a fresh take on gaming coverage.

Readers can look forward to a diverse array of stories, analysis, and opinions driven by the imaginative perspectives of future journalism leaders.

With this move, Nintendojo strengthens its role as an industry innovator and supporter of upcoming talent within the game development and reporting community.
