Just to let you all know Leicester’s & Leicestershires young people got an early Christmas present today from MediaBox.
They have awarded Citizens Eye the funding for the first 6 editions of the Wave Newspaper – 16 page supplement in the Mercury – to be published in January and totally written, edited and sourced by young people!
This is an acknowledgment of the hard work and dedication by the editorial team of young people who have already completed over 40 articles ready for publication.
Happy Christmas!
Yours
