Hello! So, this is the last weekend of my ‘summer holidays’. My uni course, bar a couple of last essays, finished at the end of March, so effectively the last few weeks have been my summer. I’m intrigued to find out how I’ll adapt to 9-5 days, but I think it’ll be good for me…

Gloomy Monday
Hello, It’s a typically grey, drizzly Bank Holiday Monday, and it’s a week today until I start my journalism course. I’m slightly terrified. I’ve never done anything 9-5 before, especially not entire weeks… especially not like 15 entire weeks. I think it’ll be good for me, insofar as it’ll prepare me for the real working…
A whistlestop tour of Copenhagen
Hej hej! I have, of course, returned from Copenhagen! It was fantastic, despite the wind and the grit (more on those later) and I’m back in one (slighty whiplashed) piece, which is a plus. So, this entry is dedicated to a travel journalism piece about the trip. We arrived around midday last Wednesday, to a…
Hello Europe, Copenhagen calling
Hello, and yes, the title is indeed Eurovision-inspired, Tomorrow, at the painful time of 5:30am, I will be waking up to go to Copenhagen! Therefore you won’t be hearing from me until Monday, when I will do a writeup of the trip, which is of course, good practice for travel journalism (the ultimate dream, pretty…
Absent note
Hello! Sorry I’ve been MIA recently – had a bit of a technical issue earlier this week (by which I mean my laptop charger quite literally fell apart, and a certain useless computer company have been particularly sluggish in sending me a replacement.) I’m back home now though, so my online presence has been restored!…
In the pipeline
Hello, I spent quite a while last night tirelessly emailing potential future interviewees. It’s quite a varied mix, so even if I managed to snare a couple of them for an interview, I could have some really interesting posts coming up. Currently I am working on a post where I have interviewed Simon Clark about…
A roving reporter is born?
Hello, Not a huge amount to ‘report’, if you will (or if you won’t; it’s just tough, because you’ve read it now and there’s no way to unread… unless it’s an email, but even then, you’re not actually UNREADING the email… I digress) from the past couple of days in terms of journalism-related matters. As I understand…
An interview with Sophia Danielsson-Waters: Around the world in not-80 days
It’s one of those things a lot of people give as a response to the age-old question, ‘What would you do if you won the lottery?’ It usually comes just after ‘I’d buy a mansion with tennis courts and its own zoo on my own private island’ and just before ‘I’ve kind of always wanted…
This is Art Attack: Neil Buchanan interview
Hello! Today’s news is that my Neil Buchanan interview has made it onto Pi Media’s website: http://www.pimedia.org.uk/features/art-attack-an-interview-with-neil-buchanan.html There is a chance it could also make it into the print copy of the newspaper, rather than the magazine, but this all depends on whether a). There is space left for it and b). Whether an interview…
Exciting news du jour!
Having had one of my articles in the last issue of UCL’s Pi Magazine, I thought I’d give it another shot this month. My idea was to get in touch with a staple of 1990s children’s television and find out what they’re up to these days. The person I chose was Art Attack’s finest, Neil…
Give us, this day, our daily soup (du journalism)
Hello! My name is Kayleigh Tanner, I’m 20, and I am half student, half soon-to-be trainee journalist. I’m at University College London, in my second year of a Linguistics degree, and in just over a month I will be returning to my hometown of Brighton to embark upon my journalism journey (journ-ey-lism?), where I will…
