Kieran Yates

Kieran is a journalist and author who writes about culture and politics.

As well as regularly contributing to The Guardian, The Independent and NME, she's also written a book called Generation Vexed where she interviewed young people from SB.TV, Live Magazine and the underground music scene to get their views on the way young people were being talked about in the media at the time of the 2011 Riots.

She's previously appeared on panels discussing politics and culture which is good, seeing as she’ll be doing just that when she joins the Free Speech panel. And having taught classes on social media and digital marketing we’re looking forward to seeing how she fares on our Power Bar.
