Young People Now
(UK) Young People Now (YPN) is a fabulous resource for news, jobs and information 'for everyone working with young people' (their tagline). I've been a fan for the past 4/5 years—ever since I started working with young people.
They have a great article entitled 'Corporate partnerships: Business benefits' in their latest issue which centers around the discussion of companies involvement in youth work—not a new thing for Phatgnat weblog readers and maybe inspired by my recent correspondence and offer to write on the same topic for them…?
However, I recently cancelled my subscription to YPN for two reasons:
- I can get all the information online;
- They didn't like my name…
I won't bore you with the details but it pertains to when YPN featured Phatgnats Graffology project—they published my full name which I do not use anymore after I explicitely told them not to and even when they said they woouldn't. I phoned Steve Barrett (editor) to complain and he reiterated their policy and also stated it was 'his decision to make'. No apologies.
Fair enough—I then made my own decision and cancelled my subscription.
(YPN recently featured an article on Jazzie B's involvement in the Get Ahead Artist Development Programme project—his real name is Beresford Romeo—surely they should've published that?)
