Commissioned by the Media Trust recently a piece of research to explore how media is used as a tool to engage 13-25 year olds, improve their lives and get their voices heard.

Those consulted as part of the research include Headliners, The Prince’s Trust, Rural Media Company, Skillset, Teesside University Media Academy, Watershed Media Centre and Youth Music. A series of focus groups were also conducted with young people aged 13-24 in Bristol, Birmingham, Glasgow, London and Manchester.
