The times we live in are, by far, the greatest in history for information and data. To be able to connect to a comprehensive database of human knowledge, theories and services with a couple of clicks and keystrokes is an immense privilege that we cannot begin to fully appreciate. With access to the internet now […]
Doing all my laundry takes approximately 67 hours and 11 minutes. Where it all starts is collecting my dirty clothes. If only it was as easy as emptying the laundry basket, but no, dirty clothes hide everywhere! Well, mostly in my drawers… I’m not being lazy when I’m placing my jumper I wore 13 times […]

The World Wide Web is already a tremendous tool for creating and searching for content, but there is still intense intellectual debate as to it’s evolution. The Internet is ever-changing, most of the time unnoticably. Hence, many users will be surprised to learn that what they are using right now is Web 2.0. Originally, the […]
2018 could hardly be worse for Theresa May than 2017, an agonizing and even at times, humiliating year for the Prime Minister, with an election she only just about managed to avoid losing outright despite a thumping victory looking almost certain only weeks before. But glimmers of hope managed to shine through the sweeping clouds […]
Goodbye to the Age of Newspapers (Hello to a New Era of Corruption) is the title of an essay by Paul Starr in The New Republic (America’s most consistently intelligent political magazine and a must-read for anyone determined to understand life inside the Washington DC beltway). I urge everyone to read it. It is depressing, but erudite […]

That was the question on today’s edition of BBC Radio 4’s Media Show. The Guardian’s Allan Rusbridger, an opponent of paywalls, debated with News International’s John Witherow, who will introduce one next month. I thought Mr. Rusbridger’s hostility to direct payment was less pronounced than on previous occasions. So, perhaps he is beginning to question […]
Hugo Boss and Armani are so very last year, guys and girls. We no longer want the sweet scent of sandalwood, cedar and oak moss we want erm… Flame-grilled meat. Yes, all the beautiful smells of a Burger King burger combined in one bottle and spread over our man like burger relish in a bun. Why not […]

First of all, let’s get one thing straight – the tiers AREN’T MY PERSONAL OPINION. Channel 5 surveyed people, and just like with Brexit, the public really fu!$%d up. Anyway, this story begins earlier than you think. When I first started on Channel 5’s social / video team at the beginning of February, one […]
Having now survived Fresher’s week and completed my first official day as a student at the Centre for Journalism, I must say I’m buzzing to work my way through this course. The prospect of experiencing the acamedic modules and practical tasks was exciting enough, but several other opportunities have presented themselves to me, making my […]
When British politicians claim their actions have global significance I usually turn to the American quality press for a sense of perspective. Granted, the land of the free can be atrociously inward looking, but this from the Boston Globe certainly casts Gordon Brown’s stroke of genius in a new light. In Massachusetts his ‘unprecedented global action’ (the Guardian) is reduced […]
Hi, Some of you might have met Luke Jacobs, Editor of Kent Live and Sussex Live, when he visited the CfJ to give a masterclass and another time, with the NCTJ. He has posted on Linked In about what his company, Reach, is doing to gather and highlight stories from Black History. Do take […]

Travellers of colour headed to Greece,be prepared! Greek police are questioning, arresting, and even beating tourists they believe to be illegal immigrants.

The operation gave Xenios police power to inquire about […]
