It is my first time that I have studied in a different country. When I arrived here two days ago, I was lonely and felt homesick for China. I need to handle everything by myself; not only the daily routine, but also the courses. No doubt that prctising English everyday is definitely needed. Although it […]
httpstalksport.comwp-contentuploadssites5201508arsenal-sad.jpgstrip=all&w=700&h=420&crop=1.jpg If you’re a fan of heartburn, erratic mood swings or uncontrollable weeping, I suggest choosing Arsenal football club as your team in the top flight of English football. A team that I grew up supporting (having been born just a few miles away from Highbury) has become one of the laughing stocks of football. […]
Iceland: which is worse, Croydon or Coventry? You would have thought Iceland’s woes were already bad enough. With the krona plunging more than 30 per cent in value in one day, its main banks teetering on the brink of disaster and residents of the once-lauded ‘Arctic Tiger’ experiencing one of the worst ‘morning after the […]
Possibilities of what GB can achieve for journalism. http://poynter.org/column.asp?id=31&aid=177590
There are many things that we creatures cherish. One of them is often old albums full of photographs printed from film. In fact I even have my first self-developed photogram, pinhole picture and my very first roll of developed film. But we no longer take our single use cameras on holiday. Amidst the digital revolution we have […]

For the students at the class yesterday: I have the audio of your live interviews. Email me and I will send it over to you. I hope everyone got something out of all the individual attention and feedback. Richard You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot […]
An article about alleged racist remarks in the football match between Rangers F.C. and Slavia Prague. The piece was published yesterday before Glen Kamara’s statement. That is the reason I do not mention it. Read it here: https://malasekpetr.medium.com/slavia-pragues-victory-against-rangers-in-the-europa-league-hidden-behind-allegation-of-racism-99dfaa455156
Fascinating piece in Guardian about the pressures applied to student journalists to prevent them reporting the affairs of their own universities. This is why we have always advised the Medwire team to maintain complete independence from the institutions it should hold to account.
England 6 – 42 South Africa No amount of good old British courage could stop the number one side in the world as South Africa rampaged past England at Twickenham on a bitter Saturday afternoon in South West London. As I drove past the stadium two hours before the start I could smell the pies […]
All right. So I know the politics of a country thousands of miles away might not be so interesting as this week’s Euro tantrum or Jeremy Clarkson’s most recent politically incorrect statement, but as journalists we should know a little bit about everywhere. So here go my two cents about the current state of […]
I touched on some of the issues surrounding the Government’s school academy programme last week. Here is an excellent article that goes into the debate in great detail and is particularly good on whether there is anything more to it than a costly re-branding exercise. I highly recommend reading it – and adding to […]
It hardly seemed likely that on the eve of the third Ashes Test of the summer I would be writing that Ricky Ponting’s Aussies are well and truly on the back foot after failing to win at Cardiff and being comprehensively beaten at Lord’s by an English side determined to play exhilarating cricket. The tourists […]
Now, take a deap breath. If you know who Chris Morris is, then you’ll already have clicked on the link – so for those of you who haven’t seen Brass Eye or the Day Today (satirical takes on current affairs and news respectively), a few words of warning: it is about making the most ridiculously […]
277643501_695102791747573_2023578088542275001_n.jpg One big question about the MCU is this – how long can it last? When cast members start to get too old or their contracts expire, a difficult narrative decision needs to be made about where to take those characters. Click here to see my full story.
There will be a revision session to replace today’s on 13 June from 10.30 – 12.30 in M0-05 for both year 1 and MA students.
Great opportunity for anyone interested! I’m looking for a team to help me cover the 2012 National Union of Students’ annual conference up in Sheffield on the 24th, 25th and 26th of April. I’m hoping to be have around-the-clock coverage in print, online and maybe even on air! The venture is supported by The Medwire […]
Ridley Scott’s recent filmography reeks of desperation. Efforts to top his Oscar-winning hit Gladiator continue to fall flat, whilst fans of Alien were left cold by 2012’s messy prequel, Prometheus. The fact that every trailer for an upcoming Scott feature never ceases to remind us that it comes ‘from the director of Gladiator’ speaks volumes. Nothing borne […]
As I entered the main hall, my first impressions were that it was incredibly busy. I was shown to the members sections amidst a lot of hustle and bustle, and looked around. The banner behind the speakers said “New Politics. Fresh Ideas.” There were certainly a lot of fresh ideas; all around me was conversation […]
Doctor-Strange-in-the-Multiverse-of-Madness-poster-Doctor-Strange-2-MCU-film-movie-300×438.png I have now seen Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness twice, and I feel like it’s the first time for me where I am starting to feel burnout from all these superhero films. I felt it pretty early on with Star Wars and after Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker and as much as […]
From the university web site, in case you didn’t see it: Love your Campus, a joint Creative Campus and Kent Union initiative, has launched an exciting photographic competition open to all University of Kent students and staff from Canterbury, Medway, Tonbridge, Brussels and Paris. Armed with a camera, they would like you to explore your […]
In recent weeks, football fans have come in for a bit of a kicking in the media in the wake of a number of incidents. It started a month ago with the man who ran onto the pitch at Birmingham and assaulted Jack Grealish, and since then, incidents involving fans have become front page news. […]
