Firstly, I’d like to congratulate Barrack Obama on a landslide victory following on from a campaign which has embraced and captured the hearts of Americans.

Recently I read two series of books that changed my life. If you’ve talked to me even once, you’ll know I’m a massive Japan obsessive! Having spent multiple stages of my life in Japan I’ve been indoctrinated into a lot of modern Japanese cultures – one of the key ones being reading Manga. DSC_0076.JPG Image […]

We’ll be holding a revision session for Year 1 Convergent Journalism in the main newsroom on Thursday (25 May) at 12 noon.
When I was 5, my source of entertainment came from puzzles, train sets, playing football and repeatedly watching Lady and the Tramp. I have a five year old brother who can do all these things on a brilliant multimedia machine; the IPad. I use the word brilliant reservedly, as for adults like myself, yes it […]

My dad has been eyeing the iPad’s shiny screen ever since it first came out, but could never find a good enough reason to justify the rather large expense of buying it. But now, with the newest version of the iPad boasting digital versions of the newspapers he buys weekly and the new iCloud allowing […]

Tucked under his bed, untouched, once laid a packed duffle bag. It had become smothered in a blanket of dust, which grew thicker as each day past. It was there ready for him, for when he received ‘that call’. The call to say they had found him a kidney. Until then, he spent every […]
It’s been a tough month for women in the media. First the Samantha Brick fiasco, perhaps the Daily Mail’s finest attempt at professional ‘trolling’ and the Telegraph ‘critic’ (I use the term lightly) A.A Gil condemning the brilliant historian, Mary Beard as “too ugly for tv”.

Now, I dislike Donald Trump as much as the next person. I believe he’s bigoted, arrogant, foolish, and will make a poor leader, potentially even a dangerous one. And I, much like congressman John Lewis doubt his legitimacy and find it unsurprising that accusations of foul play and Russian involvement in his election have come […]
