YJA hits the headlines
The summer school and its sponsors have received widespread press coverage and students have had their work published in local papers and on spiked. The programme has also been advertised in the news pages of The Times and on the spiked home page and e-newsletter. Sponsors have covered it on their intranets, internal and external newsletters. Stories about the programme have appeared on radio, including LBC radio news, in the national media, including The Times and the Guardian’s Comment is Free, specialist magazines, including the Press Gazette, and local papers, including The Wharf, Camden New Journal and many more.
