Students: Local news or international campaigns.
Today was the NUS Media and Democracy day and i thought it would be a good idea to share some of my experiences from the day and what i took away from it.
Hosted by Amnesty with NUS the day provided the opportunity to network with student television, radio and publications from around the country. We… »
Student journalism – the (right?) approach to sensitive stories
I have been reading stories in the past few days where journalists have been recounting times they have had to source a photograph of a child killed in a car crash or a teenager that committed suicide. These journalists have highlighted the problems of dealing with a grieving family and the emotions that both sides… »

Why student journalists should rule the world

Guild Council + Redbrick
