Thrown in the not so deep end

Sep
23
So, last week was my induction week for the MA course in multimedia journalism here at Kent. Deciding to embark on this nine or so months of intensity was probably the hardest decision of my life.
 
Earlier in the year, I thought I'd made my mind up about studying political theory at York. I'd even started looking at accommodation. Yet, a nagging feeling prevented me from immediately accepting the offer of a place, and so I prevaricated for several months.

A feather in Bella's cap

Jun
29

MA student Isabella Fish has something to crow about this morning - a byline on page 3 of the Daily Mail.

Bella is currently on work experience at the newspaper after winning a scholarship through the Centre for Journalism. And she couldn't have got off to a better start.

Her story about an adopted rook with "separation issues" leads page 3 today.

We'll have a flutter on it being the first of many stories bearing her name in national newspapers.
