I posted a while ago about the graduate journalism show at UCA in Farnham. I was impressed by several of the final year projects, and mentioned the F1-focused piece by Adam Leveridge. As it happens, a little while after the show Adam landed a nice internship with a web content company called Adfero. It’s the […]
This week sees the undergraduate journalism timetable crank back into gear – and this year I’m getting more involved. As luck would have it, I get to be lead tutor on a second-year online journalism unit at UCA, and I’m also having quite a bit of input into the third-year unit. The big change has […]
I think one or two votes have trickled in over the past week or so, but it’s pretty much time to wind up my informal recession poll. I’m going to take it down on Wednesday night – at the end of the month. If anyone fancies adding their tuppenyworth before then, please do. I’ll pontificate […]
I have been asking readers about how their media recession has been going. From the Big Apple, NYBlues writes in (anonymously, so I can’t link, but he or she does exist) to sketch the ghastly reality of media life across the Atlantic.

For my world is suddenly chock full of plugins. Plugins to do virtually everything, it seems, bar the washing up. (And I understand someone somewhere is […]
Well, it’s been a long, hard road, but here we are. A brand new web host and a brand new look. Well – a brand new look that looks very much like the old look, but hey. All visitors from the old wordpress.com address should be automatically redirected here. I’ll probably try to nudge people […]
The tech world is abuzz with the news that there is a not-so secret URL hack to change a normal Google search string into a near-live search. Which is exciting because it makes a Google search like Twitter! And we know how much the media loves Twitter. Trouble is, the reports all seem to rely […]
For all his BBC connections, culture secretary Ben Bradshaw says the BBC has got too big for its boots and that News Corp boss James Murdoch raised “legitimate questions and […] genuine concerns” about its range and influence in his MacTaggart lecture at the Edinburgh TV festival last month. Could this have anything to do […]
