As ever this blog is not getting the attention it deserves - now I am mainly writing at the aforementioned project [...]

(I am cross posting this from Ones to Watch where it was originally published) Student media is an interesting world; [...]

I have been home from university approaching two weeks now, although I do not graduate until the 12th of July. I picked up a 2:1, which when I look at what else I had on my plate in 3rd year is something I am very proud of, but now I have nothing.

So, on the 10th of June I shall put my final issue of Redbrick to bed, it is the final issue of the year and my 59th involved with the paper. As I have mentioned before I have lost all of the posts I wrote about my plans and hopes for Redbrick this year, so all I can do is talk you through what we have achieved and where we think we can go in the future. I see a lot of potential in the UK's student media scene, I think it is woefully underdeveloped and many universities and their media groups should have better links with each other and better links with the industry. The student media scene is a great place for experimentation because the business model is different. It is an environment where risk should be encouraged and entrepreneurship supported.

I would like to welcome everyone back to a new and improved Nickpetrie.co.uk, this blog has been neglected for a while now whilst a combination of a University degree and Redbrick have ruled my life. However I am well aware that I am about to embarking on the next stage of my life and need to get my personal space on the internet sorted. This blog is going to be about local experiences and knowledge, experiments with new social media technologies and my experiences trying to figure out what I would like to do in life and the problems I encounter on the way.
