Admittedly, I had never heard of the Stephen Lawrence case until I came to Uni. Perhaps because I was under a month old when the murder took place, perhaps because evidence has taken so long to settle, hence the length of time taken to identify and prosecute the murderers – or maybe it was […]
A highly mobile global population demands measured and well informed debate surrounding immigration. The British press has so far failed in their charge as public facilitator of debate and will continue to do so unless some kind of change is instigated. Negative portrayal of immigrants in the British press came to a head […]
Russ the builder, who lives in Folkestone, has been doing some work on our house this week. Russ is in his late 50’s and over a cup of tea he told me that his hobby was bee keeping. He began to tell me all about it. I tried to look interested, but sneaked a furtive […]
Andrew Marr interviews the famous philosopher Noam Chomsky on his views with regard to journalism as propaganda in this video (split into 3 parts). Not recent, just something I came across. Very interesting.
Before you all go away for holidays before graduation, please return your kit to me either today (thurs 14th june) or next wednesday (20th june). Do not return them via other members of staff – we need to check everything together thoroughly. Thank you, Gerardo.
It was a clear illustration of the perils of investigative journalism. At 20.45 last night, a full fifteen minutes into the programme, the electronic programme guide still declared that last night’s edition of Panorama would be dedicated to an investigation of Lord Ashcroft’s financial affairs. The documentary had been heavily trailed. It was not what […]
I’ve noticed that quite a few of you are now studying the Spanish Civil War. I have created a link on the Journalism subject guide to all books that are in the Drill Hall on the Spanish Civil War. If you are stuck with researching material or need any help please do not hesitate to […]
Medway’s director of legal studies Lesley Phippen just popped up to say she’d noticed a caption howler on the BBC’s live coverage of the Armistice commemorations. Apparently, war veterans had been laying ‘reefs’ at the Cenotaph… I blame Jonathan Ross.
Those of us who study at the CFJ know how intense and challenging this course is, and the amount of time and work it requires. Today, Richard Garner, the Indy’s education editor, wrote a piece about how the ‘party-hard’ student is dying, as more and more take up full-time jobs whilst studying. Garner’s piece inspired me to blog: […]
It is to be said. Tuesday morning when the alarm goes off half an hour earlier due to the 9 o’clock shorthand lecture, you begin questioning yourself: why in 2012 do I still need to learn it? For me it is particularly hard because Monday night I usually stay up late since on Italian TV […]

When a person thinks “magazine” there is no doubt that universally, Vogue will come close to the top of the list whether the individual has an interest in fashion or not. Its pages are iconic, timeless and ultimately the founder of the fashion sector that makes up our magazine industry today. Throughout this whole […]
The debates that arose these last few months about the possible publishing of Mein Kampf during the course of the year following its entry in the public domain were always going to be deeply divisive. Adolf Hitler’s foul manifesto is, after all, an unequivocally vile collection of self-righteous bigotry and hateful drivel the likes of which have rarely been […]
“Radio is dead.” This is a sentence that I have heard numerous times. In fact radio isn’t dying. Radio content is gaining more demand than ever before; it is the way that we listen to radio that is changing so dramatically. Maybe I am oblivious to the fact that radio is dying. It is, after […]

Many believe that the days of print journalism are over (or nearly), so Twitter has come up with an alternative online newspaper : http://paper.li. By selecting a topic, all the articles from newspaper sites appear on the screen along with links to other pages. It could be a waste of time, but I think it’s […]

Not my words but the words of Ian Dunt for politics.co.uk. He talks about the Times Online’s decision to implement a pay wall in June by charging £1 per day or £2 a week for their content. He also discusses the possibility of the Indie becoming free by the end of the year. I like […]
