 Universities at Medway may lack nightlife, but three students from the campus entertained themselves on a drunken night, by charging at bollards and getting arrested. The first-year students had drunk heavily in the campus’ pub Coopers, before spending a night in a cell after causing the disturbance outside the Medway Campus. Despite nearly half […]

After commissioning polemical columnist Julie Burchill to write an article this Sunday, The Observer has taken the rather extraordinary step of trying to depublish it. The column in question was a stout defence of her friend, the writer Suzanne Moore, against claims that she had made bigoted comments about the transgender community, and then refused […]

You can always rely on former Sun editor Kelvin McKenzie to stir up a hornet’s nest. He’s taken aim this time at university degree courses in journalism, suggesting all journalism colleges be shut down. You can read his thoughts here and some reaction here where he gets some flak and where many of the comments […]
Ever heard of cloud-computing? It’s all about data and programs being stored in a central network ‘cloud’ so that computers become ‘lighter’ and can run more efficiently. Originally the concept appealed most to businesses who saw the idea as a way to cut down on their hardware in a major way, offloading almost everything to […]
Not just a dollar fuelled copycat tirade of a sterling British export. “It’s just like Love Actually,” I was told. “Great, another cheap, pathetic emulation of a British national treasure that the Yanks want to put their stamp on,” I said. I stood in line at a time when all the kids were out of […]

As a university student I am often asked by my family or friends, from back home, what I do at uni apart from studying. I usually simply answer that I either go to the library, hang out with friends or go to a few house parties. However, I am well aware that if you aren’t […]
Tuesday has most definitely been my most exciting day of the week so far. I was, for the first time, introduced to professional recording and sound equipment, as well as being put behind the other end of the camera as an interviewee.
