https://youtube.com/watch?v=LWAj8e-IiIE Despite a Brexit Party landslide in Kent, Medway Labour leader Vince Maple said that his party shouldn’t be too worried about last night’s EU Election results. Labour only managed to win one seat out of the ten available in the South East, with voters flocking to both The Brexit Party and the Liberal Democrats. […]
This was a game that didn’t just defy expectations, it blew them to pieces. Chelsea stunned Liverpool with three away goals in this quarter final first leg to take a massive stride towards the last four of the Champions League. The smart money was on this being yet another cagey encounter between two sides who […]
I’m grateful to Jaak for pointing me in the direction of this talk about data visualisation by journalist David McCandless. It’ll be of particular interest to those doing the advance multimedia storytelling module – we looked at Hans Rosling’s work on the same subject this week – but I recommend it to anyone with 20 […]
Guns ‘n’ Roses actually releasing their long-awaited album Chinese Democracy, perhaps?! Rumour has it that the well-known Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. made a promise of a free Dr Pepper to everyone in America if the new album was released before the end of 2008. Unfortunately when they said everyone, they didn’t mean everyone; ex-band […]

Third year student James Woodcock produced a multimedia project for his final year looking at the impact on various Kent families of their loved ones going away to war.

Marks and feedback sheets for year one convergent journalism portfolios are now available for collection. If you’re not able to collect them in person, let us know and we’ll send them to you by email. Richard and I are available to talk about any individual pieces in greater depth.
They say journalists never let the truth get in the way of a good story, but the same might now be true of politicians. Was an illiegal immigrant allowed to stay in this country because he owned a cat, or wasn’t he? The tale (or should that be tail?) gained momentum after David Cameron backed […]

The work of photojournalist Robert Capa will doubtless crop up in several modules during the course of the undergraduate degree, so here’s a little taster courtesy of the BBC News web site. It’s an audio slideshow featuring an exhibition of Capa’s work that is opening at the Barbican. Worth a visit just for his extraordinary pictures of […]

Cinco de Mayo, or as every non-American calls it May 5th, marked one year since I became a vegetarian. It’s a milestone that I wasn’t necessarily sure I’d accomplish, but one that I’m quite proud of. It is also a lifestyle I now know I can commit to and plan to stick with for a […]

… this is worrying. Ian Collins, who presents the late show on talkSPORT and managed to get the creator of the Raoul Moat tribute group on Facebook to take part in an interview live on air. (Scroll down slightly for the media player) I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

As a little bit of a production fanatic, I was saddened to hear of the news that ITV is to move out of their current home in just over a week, leaving behind years of history. The London Studios, which first opened for transmission in 1972 as The South Bank Television centre, is to now be […]
Sir Robert Worcester, Chancellor of the University of Kent and founder of MORI will be giving a talk to year 1 students (and any year 2 student who wants to attend) at 11.30 on 24 May in the newsroom.
Having covered it this term in Power without Responsibility, some of the emotional realities of the Cold War were brought home to me by this BBC documentary. Rudolf Nureyev is the one of the most renowned ballet dancers of the twentieth century, and this film tells the story of how he came to leave Russia, […]
The older I get, the less I know what im doing. At least that’s how it feels sometimes. There may (will) be some people reading this that will understand this feeling completely, but remember you aren’t alone. We aren’t in school anymore where we must know what we are doing with our lives and how […]
It’s hard to stay positive when you feel like your whole life is falling apart. Sounds a bit dramatic, I know, but recently I’ve felt like I’ve been having nothing short of a premature quarter-life crisis. It’s that time of the year when students are starting to seriously consider their futures as graduate […]
