Where journalists have greatness thrust upon them
DAVID Miliband MP today refused to comment on whether he would make a better Labour Party leader than his brother Ed at a visit to the University of Kent.
Congratulations to all those students who achieved the A-level grades they needed to join us in September. We're looking forward to meeting you again and, we hope, setting you on the road to journalism success. In the meantime, why not join our Facebook page and introduce yourselves.
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
The students:
John Saunders, Third year, BA Journalism
Lucy Ross-Miller, Third year, BA Journalism
Simon Jayawardena, MA Multimedia Journalism
Sara Malm, Second year, BA Journalism
Sophie Jenkins, MA Multimedia Journalism

Students are needed for a photoshoot for the 2012 undergraduate prospectus. If you are available:
Tuesday, 9th November - 2:30-4pm
Wednesday 10th November - 2:30-4pm
On both days you will meet at the Pilkington Cafe entrance. Don't worry if you can't stay for the entire time - it may not take that long anyway. Feel free to bring friends; the more students who help the better!
Photos are also being taken at Liberty Quays, so if you or anyone you know is living in the accomodation please be available from 9:15-10am on Wednesday, 10th November.
It's been good to see some new student names contributing to the CfJ blog during the holiday period - don't forget there'll be prizes for the best first year contributions when term resumes, so keep those blogs and comments coming in.
Meanwhile I've been working on better integration of external student blog and Twitter accounts with this site. I'm aware of a number of students who have their own blogs set up, and I'd like to run headline feeds from these to an area on the CfJ site - should be mutually beneficial in terms of traffic. The ones I know of so far are from Nick P, Alan M, Sara M, Jon S and James W. If there are others I haven't yet discovered, could you send me a link so that I can include them too? I'll get this up and running soon.
Even more students have Twitter accounts, so I've finally got around to finishing something I started a few months ago - a system which will automatically post tweets from your own Twitter accounts to this site too. To add your account to this system, follow these steps:
The Centre for Journalism is delighted to open the newsroom doors to its second intake of undergraduate students for Welcome Week this morning. We are very much looking forward to getting to know you all over the coming weeks.
We are looking for second year students of journalism willing to act as mentors to the new first years. The task should not be onerous. We are looking for sensible, sympathetic types (i.e.any of you) who are willing to help and support new arrivals. There are no formal duties, the university has professionals on duty to advise about issues such as money, housing and health.
The blockbuster movie of the summer gets its eagerly-anticipated premiere today. Directed by Bafta-winner Richard Pendry, it contains all the elements you would expect from the Centre for Journalism stable: a stellar cast; superb production values; a brilliant script; heart-stopping action; thrilling drama; and, of course, tender romance.
