Jeff Kinney is the author of , which has sold 115 million books worldwide. He has been an advisor on children and reading to the last three US Presidents and he was asked to give a speech to the most recent Davos meeting. He is widely credited with getting ‘reluctant readers’ to read…..although he says that when people say ‘reluctant readers’ they really mean boys. There is no doubt that boys love Kinney’s Greg Heffley character - a hapless, wimpy, self-obsessed 12 year old. Jenni asks him why.Ìý

The 2012 Boys’ Reading Commission report, set up by the All-Party Parliamentary Literacy Group and the National Literacy Trust, found that boys were falling behind in reading.Ìý Why?Ìý Because many felt it was an activity ‘for girls’. ÌýThe report warned that this ‘gender gap’ in reading was widening. ÌýIt found that by the time they start school, many boys are already lagging behind in literacy - Ìýand by the time they reach GCSE level they are falling behind girls in English by 14%. To discuss some of the reasons for this and how we can encourage boys to enjoy reading Jenni is joined by Jeff Kinney and Abigail Moss, Deputy Director of the National Literacy Trust.

But, over the last two years, numbers of women studying for the NCTJ qualification in sport journalism has been significantly lower than their male counterparts – just 16% of those who take the course are women. So why are young women being put off sport journalism? Jenni is joined by Â鶹ԼÅÄ sport reporter Tanya Arnold and Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sports news presenter Katherine Downes.
