Still more developments in the news you should keep abreast of in your revision. We had a discussion about Parliamentary priviledge last week – so I hope you noticed on Friday that the 3 dodgy MPs (and a Lord) went to court again still pleading this as a defence to their expenses fiddling. But the judge […]
There will be no access to the UG newsroom on the following dates and times: 23 April 10.00- 12.30 23 April 2.00 – 4.00 25 April 2.30 – 4.30
People have many techniques for getting through lockdown and other covid restrictions. From making sure they use their daily exercise to picking up a new hobby. One of the things that got me through these difficult times was music. Music is part of my life in many ways. Before Covid I loved going to gigs, […]
There’ll be a briefing for all Year 3 students at 12noon on Monday 3 December in the small newsroom. It’s vital you all attend. We’ll be briefing you on the online news day on Friday, and also giving important information about your NCTJ diploma.
The rows of pic ‘n’ mix sit proudly in their containers, the array of stuffed toys smile on the shelves and the Christmas music sings through the store. However, it is possible that this will be Woolworths last Christmas. As loyal shoppers bustle around the local Twydall store, the sharp pain of defeat is felt by […]
I had a chance to read Paul Preston’s We Saw Spain Die over the weekend.  It is excellent and very relevant to your History of Journalism essay topic. I have put my personal copy in the newsroom. Feel free to use it but NOT to remove it. I have ordered an additional copy. When it arrives I will […]
Returning students will be able to access the newsrooms from Monday, September 23. The undergraduate newsrooms have been locked this summer while Gerardo has installed the new iMacs, and will continue to be out of use until the start of Welcome Week while software is uploaded to them. The postgrad Macs are also receiving a […]
My first news editor didn’t like to see his reporters consulting the newsroom dictionary. “If you’re having to look a word up,” he’d growl, “then it’s too complicated for the readers. Use a simpler one.” I always felt uneasy about the reductive nature of his argument. If everybody followed his logic, wouldn’t the English language […]
Hi guys, Conference is at 8:30 am. Can you please send your ideas to us on Facebook or email beforehand so we can go check through in more detail during conference. The programme will be 20 mins and we are going to follow the style of Channel 4 News. We are aiming to include live […]
I was going to blog this last night but… something came up.. so here it is today. You look at Stephen Fry and you see the personification of most, if not all, British stereotypes. He is polite, charming, well spoken and I’m sure if you gave him a bowler hat and an umbrella he […]
Tonight is my last night in Kent, and there was a beautiful sunset, so I thought I’d share it with you all now that everyone’s scattered around the world. Fingers crossed that I didn’t get a speeding ticket whilst racing to catch it… Anyway, it’s been a lovely year. So I’ll see all you second […]
Another coup for the social network.
For those of us stuck at Gillingham and sick of walking down its dog-poo littered streets, I have recently found a perfect place and would love to recommend it to you. Last weekend, a flatmate and I went running at the Strand Leisure Park, a short 5 minute jog away from Liberty Quays. Once the […]

There’s a brilliant feature on The Guardian’s website today about Brentford FC: apparently the owners of the only football ground in the country to have a pub on each corner. It’s the kind of quirky fact that could form the basis of a great soap-opera style print feature about the regulars and the characters in […]
Amidst the weekly rush of reporting assignments, law reading, and the increasing desperation with which I hash together a public affairs essay, I can at least look forward to the weekend’s football as a form of escapism. Imagine my horror, then, when I discovered that the final weekend of a busy March didn’t only […]
Paul Staines a.k.a. Guido Fawkes has been summoned to appear before the Leveson inquiry to answer questions relating to his advance publication of a version of Alastair Campbell’s evidence to the inquiry. Staines says he obtained the document legally. I think it is worth reading and that it makes some powerful arguments, but you can no longer […]
Earlier in the summer I saw a post on my Twitter feed about online portfolios. I meant to post it on here sooner but I got a bit side-tracked. Seeing as journalists seeking employment are effectively selling themselves to prospective employers, usually through CVs, it isn’t surprising to see how useful a good online portfolio […]
MA students please come to the undergraduate newsroom after conference today and I will train you up as sound/camera assistants for today’s third year TV reporters.
Isabel Eidhamars quare.jpeg Oliver Kemp.jpg Laura Garcia2019.jpg For the second year running, the Centre for Journalism has picked up three nominations in the National Council for the Training of Journalists Awards for Excellence. Isabel Eidhamar’s third-year project ‘On the Border of War and Peace‘, looking at the crisis in peacekeeping on the island of Cyprus, […]
Hi everyone, I recently started writing again to a long running blog of mine. If anyone is interested then have a read, make comments, and tell me how wrong and biased I am. http://jwarner-reports.blogspot.com/ I look forward to hearing your views…

Edward Leigh, a Conservative, has denounced the Alternative Voting system as “unsatisfactory, un-British, and causing frustration and anger“. He is also strongly opposed to the referendum as it falls on the same day as Scottish, Northern Irish and Welsh elections arguing that although it will save us nearly £8 million, “let’s not sell our political […]
