Need Journalism Experience? Try Contributing to User Generated Websites 19 Jun 2009
|
Clare Wiley:
Let’s face it, there’s a lot of junk on the internet these days. User-generated content has all sorts of benefits and downsides, ranging from valuable intellectual commentary to irrelevant rants about Big Brother contestants.

Guardian vs Eastbourne Herald Media Internships - National vs Regional 16 Apr 2009
|
|
Clare Wiley:
National papers seem to be what people aim for in the grand scheme of their journalistic careers.
