The Centre has been offered the incredible opportunity to cover the Table Tennis World Cup in London next Friday the 23rd of February. We have been asked to produce a short 360 video about the event. 

Our lecturer Laura Garcia is looking for TWO ASSISTANTS to help plan, shoot and edit this project. 

Want to get in on it? Send a paragraph with a proposal on how to cover this event in 360 video by Monday 19th Feb at 5pm to l.garcia@kent.ac.uk. 

EVERYBODY can apply - Yr3's we can rearrange your solo newsday to Thursday. Expenses will be covered.

As Kishan explained during his excellent session in the newsroom, there is a chance for two students from the Centre to spend a little time at Peston on Sunday.

To secure this superb opportunity, you should send Kishan and me one side of A4 setting out what you think of one edition of Pesaton on Sunday (this week's or next) and some suggestions for improvement.

Add a couple of paragraphs about yourself and, curcially, why you think you wopuld do a good job at PoS.

Kishan's e-mail address is kishan dot koria at itv dot com and you probably know that I am T.Luckhurst@kent.ac.uk 

DEADLINE TO APPLY IS FRIDAY FEBRUARY 23rd, 2018

Hi all,

I was at the BBC Academy in Birmingham on Friday, representing CfJ at the annual NCTJ Student Council, so I thought I'd relay some of the things talked about back to you.

Kishan Koria graduated from the Centre for Journalism with an MA in Multimedia Journalism. He now works as a producer on ITN's flagship political show, Peston on Sunday. Kishan will visit the Centre on Tuesday 13 February - and he comes with goopd news. The Peston on Sunday team seek a couple of CfJ students to do brief internships on the show. The opportunities are open to final year UG and MA students. So, if you are interested in political journalism please come to the main newsroom at 1300 on the 13th to meet Kishan and hear him  talk about his job.

For all 2nd years and MAs who are going to do the NCTJ Broadcast module

Please come to all these sessions to train you for the Broadcast Regulation exam in March

Just a reminder that teaching for the Court Reporting module starts this Friday. Same times as last term BUT - Year 2s please note we are not in the same room. We are in G2-04 - as it appears on your timetable. MAs - same time, same place. If you are going to do this module you must make every effort to attend all sessions as time is pretty tight.
