Welcome to the print journalism page - find out how I have contributed to the most traditional form of journalism.

Most universities have their own student newspaper, making it easy for students to express their views and write their own news stories. This is also a perfect opportunity for journalism students to gain some experience in the print field. The new media sabatical was looking for new writers and for an editorial team. In 2009 I became the joint editor of Christ Church's student newspaper Unified. As well as overseeing stories by other students, setting the news agenda in weekly meetings and putting the stories onto the pages, I continued to write for Unified. Examples of my work in Unified will be uploaded soon.

In August 2010 I underwent a work placement with Kent Regional News & Media (KRNM), writing for their publications covering Medway, East Kent and Sheppy. I learnt how a regional newspaper fuctions, and how manage working to a deadline. I was given the opportunity to go out and interview people relevant to the stories, rather than rewording press releases from the council constantly, making the experience more valuable. Taking note of the writing style used by KRNM was also essential, as well as learning to use the publishing software The Shell and Ted. I wrote for The News, East Kent Gazette and The Sheppy Gazette. Feel free to look at some of the articles published during my two week work placement.
