Pressing Issues update

As you may remember, I have been running a small campaign for a bit called Pressing Issues. It's aim: to make people more aware of the stereotyping of youth in the media and try to do something about it. As well as this, shouting about the positive work of young people ourselves. Unfortunately, my pledge which I initially set up rather failed after a while. It's still open so please sign. I'll put the link at the end of this blog. 

Aside from the pledge, it seems that we may have to take matters into our own hands. I am setting up a new blog in which I will hopefully have other young people and myself writing about issues they care about and the positive work of youth. If you would like to write for this blog, I'll create a form to sign up and put the link at the end of the page. Hopefully, although I accept that it is a big challenge, it should work. There will be a range of topics which I will have to think of but this also shows off the positive writing talents of those involved. 

I have done blogging like this on my own in the past but it's much more effective collectively, rather than just one person. Nevertheless, it will also have reviews of things like books and films to make it interesting for all. I am also interested in sensible suggestions for names. I am going to call it something but I can always change the name as we go on. As I said, I would put a link to the pledge and the form. Here's the pledge link: http://www.pledgebank.com/pressingissues

The form will be up soon and I'll update the post when I can. More blogs coming soon.
