Holidays with Kids appoints 10 year old as children’s editor
Signature Media title, Holidays with Kids has appointed ten year old Rafferty Laight as the magazine’s Kid Editor.
Laight has been a brand ambassador for Accor Hotels Asia, along with being a regular host of the group’s Welcome TV YouTube series.
Signature Media’s Group Editor Cathy Wagstaff said: “It is an honour to have Rafferty join our highly esteemed team that includes a curated group of the most experienced travel editors in the industry to support him. Rafferty is an inspiration and we too will learn from him.”
Laight will be working with Holidays with Kids’ editorial team to develop content from a child’s perspective and will be sharing his thoughts on family travel as well as interviewing fellow kids and industry experts.
The publication is planning a stand alone e-magazine, Holidays By Kids, edited by Rafferty and to be released ahead of the Spring School Holidays.
“I’m really excited to be joining the Holidays with Kids team in an official capacity to create content that’s about kids, by kids and for kids and their families,” said Laight.
“Epic family holidays are about more than just what mums and dads want, and in my experience, unhappy kids seem to make for unhappy parents. I’m here to ensure kids have a voice so that everyone has a good time on their travels.”
Signature Media’s other family print travel titles include; Five Star Kids, Caravan and Camping with Kids and Ski & Snowboard with Kids.
