Eilish, a well-known American artist and feminist, has been labelled as ‘selling out’ after her photoshoot with Vogue. The singer’s iconic look of baggy trousers and top meant no one ever saw her in tight revealing clothes. Especially as when she first went into the limelight, she vowed to the public she would not show […]
I have decided to delay the deletion of data on the newsroom computers’ drives until a week from today. Beginning on wednesday 11th July all data drives will be wiped and defragmented. This is essential to improve the reliability of the pc’s for next semester. All students MUST ensure they have backed up their work on their own […]
I am a postgraduate research student with the Centre for Journalism looking into privacy law, and I honestly believe that my research focus is probably one of the most interesting and exciting areas to currently be considering. I have set up a short questionnaire, and would really appreciate your input. The balance between an individual’s […]
To make up for the fact that today’s teaching time was used by our visiting lecture, the deadline for the video news assignment has been extended until 5pm on Friday 14 November.
For the last three months, I have been on the tail of something big. This endeavour has been no small feat and now at the end of my journey I have more questions than answers. Buckle yourselves up because I’m about to tell you a story which may or not be a completely over the […]
At this point, I have no idea how and why are several newspapers/sources not covering this: http://interfax.com/3/439860/news.aspx It’s an Interfax report of an attack on the EU observers, a local governor and several escorting policemen. One casualty, the governor Gia Mebonia (a democratically elected district representative, a high-up in a sense), and several injured. A […]
Every time I consider creating a post on social media, be it Facebook or Twitter, I treat the process with great care and surgical precision. I look over what I have written, analysing the possibilities of how the very few people that will see the post interpret what I have shared. This approach developed after […]
10 months, 900 laps, over 6000 miles, and the Formula One world championship went down to the last ¼ of a mile. Ten years after signing for McLaren, Lewis Hamilton re-paid Ron Dennis for his faith in him with the youngest world champion in history, which eluded him 12 months ago. A rain interrupted dramatic […]
Perhaps it is the sunshine, or the abnormal atmosphere of peace and contemplation currently pervading the Centre, but I was greatly cheered by this post on the Poynter Institute website. A few people in a handful of places in one advanced nation seem to be waking up to the idea that democracy needs journalism like a bird needs feathers. Let’s hope […]
“Work sets you free” they wrote in the concentration camps in Nazi Germany. “Italy is a democratic Republic based on work” claims the Italian constitution. In US great deal of media attention was given to the so-called “right-to-work law”. But working, though being fundamental in our lives, has, at least in certain jobs, an […]
All those who applied for the Sky News Bob Friend Memorial Scholarship have now been contacted individually, so I can publish details of the shortlist. Congratulations go to (alphabetically) Laura Hartmann, Alan McGuinness, Lucy Ross-Miller, John Saunders and Kelsey Williams. They will undergo a written test and a panel interview tomorrow (and should check their […]
If you’re studying History of Journalism – or even if you’re not – try to watch “Gallipoli – when Murdoch went to war” on iplayer. It’s a docudrama which went out on BBC2 last Saturday night to coincide with Anzac Day. Fascinating insight into Rupert’s father and the part he played in exposing the horrors […]
Students have been asking Dave what parts of the Ofcom code to concentrate on. I’m attaching the Broadcast Module programme of study which summarises the topics dealt with by different sections of the code. I hope you find this helpful Richard PS the vital thing is to study the Ofcom adjudications, which they call bulletins. […]

Another weekend, another twist in the Premier League title race. The way this season is going, it would be foolish to write Chelsea, Manchester United, or even Arsenal out of the race for top spot. As the Manchester derby edged towards full time earlier on today, those of a blue persuasion in West London must […]

Address: 292 Vauxhall Bridge Road, London SW1V 1AE There will be a variet of talks including Martin Keene OBE, the group […]
You might know her, you might have heard of her you might have had a fantasy about her in your teenage years or you just saw her pictures and thought: “Who is this girl? I want to marry her.” Truth is everyone wanted her, from young boys to grown men or who knows, maybe women. […]
Snooker, to me, is one of the most enjoyable and satisfying sports to watch in the world. The precision and skill needed to master the baize is extraordinary. Then why when I say the word ‘snooker’ to so many people they switch off and mock me for being an old man. The coverage on […]
Guys, did we find out who won the First Year Christmas Blog competition in the end?

Like most people, I follow a few local news sites on Facebook, which as expected are continuing to post regularly about both the lockdown and (thankfully) other unrelated stuff. Most of these stories, aren’t hard news but are still of interest and are a good way to break up the day, but for the people […]
If you have some free moments in between work experience and revision there are several new films on release which are entertaining and also give some useful background to some of the things we have already talked about and which will come up next year. “In the Loop” is a feature film version of the […]
