Newspaper centenary

Opened by HM The Queen, Front Page: Celebrating 100 Years of the British Newspaper commemorated the centenary of the Newspaper Publishers Association.

Visitors could view memorable front covers and create their own in the interactive newsroom. The newsroom activities helped to make this our most popular schools’ programme to date. Over 1,200 students from Key Stages Two to Five attended free
workshops given by the Learning Team, supported by downloadable materials for classroom study.

A competition gave budding designers, journalists and photographers the chance to win a week’s work placement. Winners joined staff on the Evening Standard, Telegraph, Express, Guardian and Mirror.
