F1 needs to be ‘quicker’ and ‘louder’. That was the conclusion reached by the sports big players at a meeting at Biggin Hill last week. We’re clearly not talking about ground-breaking ideas here and that is probably where the biggest issue for Formula One lays at the moment. Speed and sound are, for many fans, […]
I study a university course where attendance is compulsory. Every single lecture, seminar and tutorial on my timetable is not a feeble invitation, as is the case at many British universities, but more of threatening instruction. If I don’t drag my sorry, sleep-deprived and hungover self to lectures, I will get called up for it. […]
Keeping up with last term’s tradition of the Medwire setting the national news agenda, a story first written by one of our own, Michelle Gleaves, has today been published on the BBC (3rd top story in England), MailOnline and the Huffington Post and on the Press Association’s Mediapoint. What’s more the Huffington Post article actually mentions Michelle and the […]
0815 The Centre for Journalism is open for business. Fresh newspapers are toasting gently in the newsrooms and the Today Programme is spreading cheer to all concerned. Take care on the Campus. There is ice on many of the roads, footpaths and staircases. Go slowly and gently.
For those of you still searching for your last portfolio pieces, the Medway Boat Race is tomorrow and could present a good opportunity! Get there for about 12:30 to catch the warm-up training sessions. I think there might even be a press conference at some point, best thing to do is just ask the […]
NPLP has an exclusive interview this week with Echo sports journalist Chris Phillips, who talks all things Southend United and League Two. After a truly Super Sunday, the boys take a look at the title contenders as well as the race for fourth in the Premier League. There’s plenty of transfer news to discuss and […]
(an open invitation to anyone, 1st, 2nd, 3rd years or MA students) Does anyone fancy a game of football at some point in the next few weeks? I tried to sort this out last year but everyone was too busy (my fault for arranging it during the end of the year). Nothing too serious – […]
NSSTwitterGraphic2020 500px.jpg The University of Kent’s BA in Journalism is officially the country’s most appreciated undergraduate programme – according to the results of this year’s National Student Survey. The 2020 NSS saw our journalism degree score a massive 97.67% in oversall satisfaction – the most significant measure of a course’s success according to its students. […]
No, this isn’t some sort of joke. Chinese Democracy is actually available to buy in shops. Being able to do this seems surreal enough, let alone actually listening to it. I’ll confess to being a bit of a GNR fanatic, and I’ve been left disappointed by the numerous false starts that have peppered the album’s […]
To some of us, journalism is a “game“. To others, it’s a “hobby“. To the rest, it’s a profession. For a smaller group, journalism is “life.” Those who dedicate their ‘lives’ to journalism find it challenging to divide their identity as individuals and journalists. However, doing serious journalism, which demands commitment and perseverance, has become […]
In a move possibly inspired by The Voice, the first knockout round of the Shorthand Champions League was played in an experimental blind format. The results – and the draw for this week’s Quarter Finals – can now be revealed. Meanwhile, we can confirm that FIFA has shortlisted the Shorthand Champions League for its inaugural […]
The following dates are for NCTJ exams that will take place in the centre. Students MUST have paid Anastasia THREE WEEKS prior to these dates for any exam they are planning to sit.

His job is not like that of every other journalist. The topics he covered this week include the financial crisis of 2007-08, elections in Bolivia, the drug thalidomide, and Far Eastern martial arts. He managed to do so although he spent most of his Monday and Tuesday watching films – or rather exactly because of […]

It’s no secret that people aren’t massively happy with the Tories at the moment, and the same goes for Boris Johnson, the arguably loveable but go-to-guy for his gaffes in a long political career. For any Americans reading and wondering who he is, he’s our Joe Biden. With the mayoral elections for London just […]
As the Guardian is now reporting – and as much of the online world was already well aware this morning – the philandering swine with the powerful lawyers was that fine upstanding gentleman, Mr John Terry. Expect pages of detail in the News of the World this Sunday.
England once again were knocked out of Euro 2012 on penalties but can hold their heads high. The defeat, or victory, depending on your allegiance, was not down to a moment of hot headedness or injustice, as has so often been the case in English footballing history. This time it was down to two crucial […]
So you are headed to University, congratulations, it is truly a wonderful experience for fostering your curiosity and nurturing your mind for the adult years of your life, but to be entirely honest, Fresher’s Week is so much more than that. Parties, pubs, clubbing and more, which can be a lot for someone who grew […]
David Miliband expressed outrage about the raise in tuition fees to a lecture hall full of students yesterday afternoon. Speaking at the University of Kent, Mr Miliband, the former foreign secretary and current MP for South Shields, said the measure was a move “far far too far.” He called the Liberal Democrats […]
Saw this last night and thought people might find it worth a listen. Could it be that the hype over apps is blinding us from simply designing better websites? Wolfgang Blau, editor-in-chief of German news site Zeit Online, makes an interesting case for website design over apps here at journalism.co.uk
