The 17-year-olds received 3,000 from Staffordshire County Council to create and launch the magazine, called Asian Creation. Mania Hossaini, one of the young people involved, said: "My friends and I decided we wanted Asian young people to be able to express views on issues that are important to them. In the Asian community it is hard to speak out so we want to give Asian young people a tool to do so."
