Daniel May has been named as the Sky News Bob Friend Memorial Scholar for 2010. He will formally receive the award from Sky News's editorial development manager Rob Kirk on the evening of March 3 at the Sky Bob Friend Memorial Lecture, to be delivered this year by BBC Director-General Mark Thompson. 

For the second year running, YouTube is offering aspiring journalists the chance to win big money - and more importantly, the chance to work on a journalism project with the Pulitzer Center. For the first round of the Project Report competition, entrants are required to submit a video package based on a day in the life of a person they feel should be brought to the world's attention. The deadline is February 28.

We are delighted to announce that the shortlisting panel has chosen the following three students to face the scholarship panel on Wednesday. Congratulations to Sara Malm, Daniel May and Melanie Wimmer.

Many thanks to everyone who took the time to submit applications.

As the Guardian is now reporting - and as much of the online world was already well aware this morning - the philandering swine with the powerful lawyers was that fine upstanding gentleman, Mr John Terry. Expect pages of detail in the News of the World this Sunday.

Mark Thompson, the Director-General of the BBC, is to deliver the second Bob Friend Memorial Lecture at the Centre for Journalism in March.

At the same event one of our first year students will be awarded the Bob Friend Memorial Scholarship by Rob Kirk, Sky News's editorial development manager.

Both the lecture and scholarship were established in 2009 in a partnership between Sky News, the University of Kent and the Friend family, to provide a lasting memorial to the life and career of Bob Friend, who became the original face of Sky News after a long-standing career with the BBC.

Remember Trafigura? Recollect the Max Mosely case? Well this morning we learn that a Premier League footballer has won a new super injunction that prevents journalists writing about his affair with a team-mate’s girlfriend. The gagging order was granted by a High Court judge, Mr Justice Tugendhat, under human rights laws. I am not supposed to tell you that it exists. You can read a lot more about it in the Daily Mail.

I'm very excited to be typing this post: Apple have just unveiled their new tablet, the iPad! For those of you wondering why I didn't write this post sooner, waiting for this was the reason. In fact, I have to say I'm more excited about this one thing than I am over any of the other things I've discussed (or will discuss) in this series! Will the iPad really revolutionise the tablet industry or is it just a giant iPod touch?

And how could this save the news industry? 

A briefing for all year 1 students will take place in the newsroom tomorrow, Wednesday, 27.01 at 13.00.  Tim, Ian and Richard will be available to explain the procedure for submission.  At 13.30 Alan McGuinness will talk about his experience as last  year's Scholar.

The Caledonian Mercury, Scotland's new online national newspaper, launched last night. It is written by a team consisting almost entirely of former Scotsman journalists. They are a superb bunch. I am going to pay particular attention to the foreign coverage. It is being edited by Andrew Macleod, who, as foreign editor of the Scotsman, was among the most creative and compassionate journalists it has been my privilege to work with.
