With social media and 24-hour rolling news, how do you engage young people in
the issues that concern them? What’s the role of a News Editor and what makes a
good reporter/presenter? How can young people tell their own stories? Are
there ways to avoid fake news? What editorial decisions are made when
reporting on conflicts such as the crisis in Ukraine?

(Editor-in-Chief, First News & CEO Fresh Start Media), Chris Rogers

Accessibility
BAFTA is an arts charity that is open and welcoming to everyone.
This means we want every visit to BAFTA 195 Piccadilly to be as enjoyable and
comfortable as possible.
Our newly developed building has been designed with accessibility
in mind, and we have made improvements including adding an additional
lift, widening doors and corridors, removing steps and ledges and installing
disabled toilets on every floor. Working with Peter
Connell Associates, we have made significant changes to improve
accessibility, and we will engage with our audiences to continue to improve.
We are developing a comprehensive Access Guide for our newly
refurbished building, which will be published on this page soon.
In the meantime, as we develop our procedures and processes, if
you are attending one of our events at 195 Piccadilly and have
access requirements, then please email events@bafta.org with
as much notice as possible to discuss these with us. Accompanying
assistants, carers or companions can attend free of charge. Please email events@bafta.org ahead of the event to book
this complimentary ticket.
