Media Centre

Young people’s perspectives, lived experience, and contributions are essential in the media to keep decision-makers accountable and our systems fair. The Youth Media Centre supports young people and youth-led organisations to use the media as a tool for advocacy.

Whether as a panellist on a current affairs show, or writing op-eds for major daily newspapers, we use a range of strategies to build the capacity of young people to be part of the conversation on key issues affecting our nation.

 

 

Got a question about FYA, or our strategy, programs, or research?

 To speak with an FYA spokesperson about any of our work please contact Communication Lead Shona McPherson on 0410 293 844 or shona.mcpherson@fya.org.au
