News Sprint: test the journalism basics

A free sample game for journalism students: a fast, fun way to revise news writing, media law and ethics, and newsroom verification. No typing, no sign-up. Challenge a friend to a live head-to-head.

News Sprint is a study aid for practice and revision. It is not legal advice and not a substitute for your textbook or your teacher. Confirm any legal point against the official text. Scores on the public leaderboard are for fun and are not verified.
