My route into journalism? Comp school, state sixth form college, writing for the uni paper while at Oxford, work experience at the Times while I stayed in a squat, journalism college, a year on a local newspaper in East End of London on £9k... Yep, privileged all the way. https://twitter.com/owenjones84/status/987229001151369216 …

I'd say going to Oxford in what, the eighties, when only 10% or so of all kids even went to ANY university, is in itself quite privileged. I'd imagine you made a few 'contacts' there who came in handy somewhere down the line.

I didn’t go to Oxford because I was privileged. I went to Oxford because I was clever.

No one is saying you weren't smart nor were you deserving. But the fact that you are white, automatically give you a leg up regardless of the fact that you are a woman, over a lot of other people.
