Here you go UEA Journalism, it begins..

Today I was in the UEA Journalism newsroom watching our would-be reporters cover the #LiztrussResign announcement - seems like a good time to announce that in January I'm developing and teaching a new #political #journalism module for tomorrow's journalists. #politics

Here we go UEA Journalism time to start looking at what the parties are promising in the #LocalElections2023

We are looking for writers to pitch their story ideas concerning local issues for consideration, and if successful, write them. Topics include: ๐ก Housing ๐ฅ Health โก Power ๐ Environment ๐ผ Politics. Drop Shaun Lowthorpe an email with more details: [email protected]


This time next week the newsletter will be in your inbox. And what's more, The Seeker is about to get twice as good, with a second edition coming out every Wed morning, in addition to Sat. All of this has been possible thanks to funding from Innovate UK Create Growth Fund.
