Exposure magazine
A core activity, the 28-page Exposure magazine is
produced six times annually, financed through grants and
charitable donations, as well as through advertising and sponsorship
arrangements with a range
of local government clients. Exposure magazine is designed
to educate and inform young people, as well as to guide adults
on how to deal with young
people. Young volunteers express freely their experiences,
feelings and ideas through the publishing of articles, reviews,
poems, photographs and
illustrations.
Young volunteers at Exposure are involved in all stages of
production, developing ideas and planning work, researching,
interviewing and gathering information, writing copy, generating
and manipulating images,
laying out pages and preparing for print, magazine distribution
and review.
As well as traditional teen issues, such as crime, drugs, discrimination,
bullying, peer pressure and music, during the year Exposure
magazine featured articles on depression, languages, the
end of the world, living
in care, terrorism, child soldiers, politics, education,
youth work, the cult of celebrity, youth justice, pregnancy,
video games, the environment,
refugees, body piercing, bereavement and driving.
Some 4,000 copies of Exposure magazine are distributed
to local secondary schools, colleges, youth groups, North
London Connexions
offices, public buildings, libraries, sports clubs and
leisure centres. The magazine
is also posted to over 300 other youth and community organisations
around Haringey. Exposure offers a free subscription service
with over 100 young
people having Exposure magazine delivered straight to their
homes.
