Not Premier League Proven (NPLP) is a podcast created by journalism students at the University of Kent who all love football. The podcast consists of six students offering fresh comment, every Wednesday, on the latest gossip surrounding the beautiful game.
As you know we have been given the opportunity by the KM Group for students to take part in live coverage of the General Eelection. The main areas of opportunity on the night are set out below. People who are interested should e-mail me as soon as possible with an indication of where they would most like to work. Clearly any student who is on work experience with the KM titles on election night can expect to be involved in the coverage anyway.
Second year Centre for Journalism undergraduate John Saunders got the chance to grill the Prime Minister last week, and he didn't waste the opportunity. At a Question Time session organised by the Kent Messenger Group, Saunders quizzed Gordon Brown on an opinion poll showing that a majority of respondents feel British troop involvement in Afghanistan is increasing the risk of terrorist attacks at home. Here's the full exchange, filmed by the KMG's online team.
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.
