what is a pressure group?
Pressure groups are organisations that try to influence government policies by gaining public support for change and by persuading the politicians who make the laws that change is needed.
Eg Just Stop Oil
what is a individualistic campaign??
Many campaigns that are later taken up by newspapers, politicians and pressure groups are started by lone individuals who feel strongly enough about a particular policy to take action themselves.
Eg Marcus Rashford
what is a newspaper campaign??
Newspapers can play an important role in policy making. Newspapers can help to shape the law by mobilising public opinion so that government takes action.
Eg Enfield newspaper anti-knife campaign (aimed to discourage teenagers)
