The aim is to open up a national debate with a regional radio launch by John Barnes and the launch of an online discussion and voting forum for teens hosted by Piczo. The campaign aims to help adults better understand what teenagers love reading as well as what turns them off.
We are encouraging all young people to log or register to join the Piczo forum on http://readup.piczo.com and join the conversation.This is not just about what teens like reading, but what they really don’t like reading too – the aim is to get them thinking and talking about reading.
We are starting the national conversation about reading with a series of regional radio interviews with NYR Director, Honor Wilson-Fletcher and football legend John Barnes. In case you would like to follow any of this activity up in your local areas, please find below a list of stations we are scheduled to talk to.
Because of the nature of broadcasting, these are subject to change/revision on the day but correct at the time of this email.
Please keep an ear to the wireless for details of the launchof "Read Up, Fed Up."
