A voluntary media centre that has given 25,000 schoolchildren an insight into journalism as a career is about to expand, reports the East London Advertiser. The Newspaper Education Trust has acquired a larger space at its headquarters in the West Ferry print plant on the Isle of Dogs.
It means that the trust, a charity, will host larger classes from January next year. It also plans to open a media studio, enabling students to make their own TV broadcasts.
But it needs £18,000 to buy IT equipment and is calling on companies for help. Surely newspaper owners desperate to encourage young people to love newsprint can help out.
