Those of you with long memories may remember that back in the heady days of 2008 I rashly promised a glittering array of prizes to encourage thoughtful student blog postings on this site.  Some of those, covering the Christmas period, have already been announced. And I’ve kept a couple of other awards up my sleeve for good measure.

Now it’s finally time to remortgage my house and come up with the promised goods. So I’ll be distributing an array of iTunes and Waterstones vouchers to the winning entrants in the newsroom on Thursday at 11am. At the same time, I’ll announce details of another opportunity for  students to earn some cash – by coming up with a winning Flash multimedia marketing concept for the Centre for Journalism.

Oh, and I’ll also be asking if any students want to get involved in re-jigging some aspects of the site over the summer.
