Where journalists have greatness thrust upon them
Hey,
Has anyone found a black extended hard drive in the big newsroom? I forgot it on Monday and thought someone had picked it up for me - seems I was wrong! It was attached to the 'medwire computer' - the one I'm always editing on. It's got all the Medwire stuff on it and I reeeally need it.
Pretty please.

Hi everyone!
The honest but controversial commentary piece by CfJ second year student Tom Rowse in The Medwire Magazine has got some local response. Although written as a tongue-in-cheek introduction to Medway, it has got some all fired up, so The Medway Messenger has picked it up and reported on it. A very proud moment for Tom, myself and my team!

As many of you know, I dream of editing in tabloids, so I couldn't let the phone-hacking scandal at my beloved News International go uncommented. Currently doing work experience at The Sun, I'm smack-bang in the middle of it all, and I have written about it on my blog Scandilous Life on The Medwire.
"As a journalism student infatuated with tabloids and as an admirer of Rebekah Brooks I will no longer hold my peace. The phone-hacking crisis is devastating for News of the World and News International, and if all the accusations are true it is absolutely disgusting. Sienna Miller and various slebs, reality TV stars and footballers I could live with, laugh at and defend. Murdered schoolgirls, war widows and 7/7 victims I cannot. However, this is an opportunity to clean up our acts and not a day of doom for a major part of commercial journalism..."

I am very proud to present Universities at Medway's first online news source! The Medwire is now online!
Hey guys. As rumours in the newsroom might have told you I am taking over as editor of the student magazine next year. The big news is - we are going online! Also we are looking at having a handful of editors, including sports, features, fashion, politics - we are only limited by our imagination and hard work (this is a very engaging speech, I know).
I wanted to get started with this as early as possible, before everyone is absorbed in the bright fluff that is the summer hols.
My carreer - a quite possible future - The Scandilous Life blog.
According to Chinese media there is a city hidden away in the Swedish woods way up north with a population of 25 000 gay women.
I am clearly not what the industry is looking for...
