For episode two of our new relaunch, we're joined by Lauren McGaun, head of news at Impact, the University of Nottingham's student magazine. A recent investigation by the magazine and a subsequent report on BBC Politics East Midlands has highlighted the worrying increase in spiking at nightclubs. We speak to Lauren about Impact's work on this important issue, plus her experiences as the former Editor in Chief of Empoword Journalism, a publication led by women that aims to unite and empower journalists across the globe.
There is also time to talk freelancing, why journalism and who inspires Lauren in the industry.
Thank you for joining us Lauren and best of luck for the future!
