medway

This year I'm the editor of the politics section on our campus's student news website; www.theMedwire.co.uk

I'm looking for students to write for us, so if you're hoping to go into political journalism then this is a great opportunity for something that would look really good on your CV! In addition, after writing a few stories for the Medwire, you can always use them to help build your portfolio (I cannot stress enough how useful it is to have stories ready to go into your portfolio when you reach the end of the year!).

Don't let the fact it's 'politics' scare you away either. if you're fairly new to the political scene you can ease in with some easier stories of your choice or cover campus politics stories. As a member of the UMSA I'm happy to explain how things work and send you to cover relevant meetings and events.

The Marketing team at Kent Business School are in the middle of a rebrand and development of a new website. Part of the changes we're making will be to get more film and student stories on the website, generally trying to show the students view!

I'd like to make 3 films promoting Kent Business School at Medway (UG) and Canterbury (UG and PG)

If you are a Journalism student and would like to pitch for one or more of these projects or would like information please email s.blanchard@kent.ac.uk

A round of applause please for second year undergrads Rebecca Hughes and Rebekah Floyd, who shot, edited and produced this video at the university's Medway student volunteering awards.

For those of you still searching for your last portfolio pieces, the Medway Boat Race is tomorrow and could present a good opportunity!

Get there for about 12:30 to catch the warm-up training sessions. I think there might even be a press conference at some point, best thing to do is just ask the organisers when you get there!

The Universities at Medway annual boat race is fast becoming popular.

Tomorrow's event is the third successive boat race, with Kent, Canterbury Christchurch and Greenwich students rowing on the River Medway at Rochester from 12pm.

Stuart Wilson asked staff and students at the campus what the race means to them.
