New and improved Reporting Conflict module notes

Following our MA and Year 3 revision sessions, I have added a little material to module notes that may help for the Reporting Conflict exams. 

There is now a link to the Channel 4 documentary Sri Lanka's Killing Fields at the end of the module note for the Arab Spring UGC seminar. The full title of this module note is as follows:

Get a job at Elle magazine (for one issue).

Here's a really good opportunity for those of you who want to make it in women's magazines. You produce an issue of Elle magazine. It is called "Edited by the Interns".

BBC economics editor Stephanie Flanders is sceptical about the value of financial forecasts. "What goes up will come down, she said," reminding her audience that it was the very clever Sir Isaac Newton that lost a fortune trying to call the top of the South Sea Bubble.

MA TV classes this week

My dear MA students

I am very sorry that I can't be with you for either of your TV classes this week, or the news afternoon we hoped to run on Wednesday.

I have been called away urgently to be with my family.

I plan to be back next Monday.

Would you mind using some of your class time this week to complete this TV exam? All files will be supplied.

We'll look at what you've done together next week.

Year 2 radio classes this week

Sorry I can't be with you for either of your radio classes this week. I have been called away urgently to be with my family. I plan to be back next Monday.

 Would you mind using one and a half hours of class time this week to complete this radio exam? All files attached. We'll look at it together next week.
