Felicity Capon is editor of The Week Junior. Aimed at eight to 14-year-olds, since its launch in 2015 it has become the UK\u2019s fastest growing magazine with a circulation of over 70,000. Felicity is also a travel writer for the adult edition, and appears regularly on its weekly \u2018Unwrapped\u2019 podcast, which unearths underreported stories. In this in-depth interview, she explains how sticking to the facts allows them to tackle difficult subjects without dumbing down, recalls the \u201cbaptism of fire\u201d in her first week following the Paris terror attacks \u2013 and discusses how their loyalty to print has enabled them to buck the trend of declining circulations.
