The "Continuing Junior Editorial Bureau" is an activity of Children's Media, which is being undertaken by the certified NPO Mini City Plus with the cooperation of Nakamura Laboratory, Faculty of Environment and Information, Tokyo City University. The children who gathered in the open call for participants went to the interview and conveyed the appeal of Tsuzuki Ward  .

On February 28, a symposium was held at the Yokohama City Hall. The purpose is to get many people to know about the value and significance of children's media and to spread it to various places. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic last year, children's reporters, who have been active while making full use of online meetings and remote interviews, held briefings on their own interviews.
　About factory tours and interviews with the Yokohama City Museum of History, Tsuzuki Ward  's companies PGA Co., Ltd. and Maruki Seimen, they talked about their impressions during the interview, such as "I enjoyed seeing the backside where I couldn't usually step in."

In addition, representatives of the Ishinomaki Nikko Children's Newspaper (Miyagi Prefecture), which has exchanges with Mini City Plus, and Yotsukaido Children's Press Club (Chiba Prefecture) participated remotely, and the child reporter OBOG of the "Continuing Junior Editorial Bureau" served as the facilitator. Ishinomaki introduced photographs published in the topic "Scenery of Ishinomaki in My Hearts" published in the Ishinomaki Nikkei Children's Newspaper, which has been published since the Great East Japan Earthquake, and from Yotsukaido, reported that it was published in the municipal newsletter in cooperation with the government's community development Center.
At the press conference, I had time to answer questions from my main journalists.
In response to the question, "Have you ever felt painful on the way and wanted to quit?", There were reliable answers such as "I want to do it to the end" and "I wanted to do it."
