Sun Youth Forum

"The Sun Youth Forum was established in 1956 by Las Vegas Sun founder and publisher Hank Greenspun. ... The first Sun youth program featured 96 students from five different high schools. In those early years, the Youth Forum was a one-day program that included luncheon entertainment...  At the Sun Youth Forum students and moderators are divided into small discussion groups according to seven topics ... At the end of the sessions, each group selects a representative to summarize the day's discussions in columns written for the Las Vegas Sun and expressed on UNLV TV, taped at the Hank Greenspun School of Journalism; Observation Radio, through the Nevada Broadcasters Association; and Inside Education, through PBS."
