Where journalists have greatness thrust upon them
Please take a look at our amazing webite! We have a newsday today and need as many hits as possible.
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.

If you only listen to one Tory (with belief) this week, listen to Michael Portillo's "Democracy On Trial" at 9:30 tonight on Radio 4. 93.5 FM for anyone who doesn't know where to find it. Mr Portillo is the son of a Spanish refugee who fled during the Spanish Civil War, so should fit into our revision just nicely. Political heavyweights Francis Fukuyama tells of his "End of History" theory, as do many other guests tell of how capitalism is fought for in the name of democracy.
