I was helping a friend film her interview for her TV assignment and I was in for a shock. The weather that morning was harsh and I thought to myself that the day could not get any worse. Let me quickly digress; Oh yeah did I forget to mention that the […]
It’s not often a news story or report makes me go ‘wow’, but this feature on an island called St. Helena, a remote British island that is “stuck in time” was quite startling. It’s a surreal read check it out: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8465785.stm
Rob and Nick passed a shorthand mock and are on course to greatness. Winners!
Around the world, children and adults alike have flocked to theatres to see Harry Potter’s sixth cinematic outing. Despite glowing reviews, fans of the novels may be sorely disappointed. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was the book that defined the rest of the series. Brimming with blistering detail, it put the preceding five novels […]
As many of you know, I’m not the most talkative in my University classes, so I thought I’d talk about something more personal to me in this blog post. Loud crunching, lip smacking whilst eating, tapping really loud on a keyboard, snoring and even breathing heavily. Most of these sounds would probably get rather annoying […]
A message for all NUS representatives and a call to all students Now that we have reached the end of our time at the 2011 National Union of Students (NUS) Conference, let us pause and reflect. We have elected Liam Burns as the new NUS president, a president elected by 446 votes to represent seven million students. Seven […]
It may seem viable to pay for online content uploaded by the ex-giants of Fleet Street (now that they are losing money faster than Lord Ashcroft can spend it). However, a free publication appears to be making a profit! Has the ‘pay-for-content’ debacle found a decent counterpart among free journalism?

If anyone needs a beach-box to interview people/vox-pop or whatever then give me a ring (07533636424) as I don’t think there are any left on campus and I doubt we’ll have access to Richard’s office over the weekend, anyway.
Apologies. I said I would give you a new essay deadline. I know you have been waiting. So, the deadline is now next Friday, 21 January, at 3pm. The teaching for the essay and the module is now complete. While the hand-in time is next Friday, many of you will no doubt wish to complete […]
One problem with a lot of video on news web sites is a lack of searchability. Many users simply don’t want to spend their time watching a clip all the way through to find a particular segment that’s pertinent. MSNBC’s interactive video timeline is one answer, used in this case to help viewers through the […]
In the aftermath of the Newtown shootings, The Journal News, an American news website, published the names and addresses of hand gun permit owners in New York’s Westchester and Rockland Counties. The interactive map pinpoints the exact location of residents able to hand guns; however the model of hand gun is no specified. Did Journal […]
Before his future prospects were boosted by the death of Osama bin Laden, the US President was already in a good mood. His speech to Whitehouse correspondents last week was one of the best he has made. Watch, enjoy.
I’ve worked in bars for nearly three years now, and people watching at work is always fun.

It has traditionally been the freelancer’s lot to be courted when news is hard to obtain and discarded when the pickings are easy. But recently freelancers reporting from Syria have found themselves in the perverse position of being unpopular with clients who desperately want a scarce commodity. Over the past year, a dwindling […]

You would think that our generation is one that has lived to see many things that have been happening across the Globe, but somehow I can’t take this idea out of my head: that as much as we want to admit that we are free, that we think outside the box, that we’re not as […]
Reading through the blogs, I noticed that the entries have been dominated by football news, chart entries and random spells of intellectual reckoning [all of which coming from the boys!] so this is one from the girls, but an open debate for all. This blog leads on from the point raised today regarding the funding […]
