"Pollstation" - is an online media / publishing startup that runs polls (similar to YouGov) and provides their readers with neutral briefings on the topics they poll.
They are looking for an opportunity to work with keen students to help produce subject briefings for Pollstation. The purpose of our briefings is to provide our readers with a concise, balanced, factual digest - outlining the background, and explaining the various arguments on either side of each issue being debated / polled.

If you're staying in Medway over Easter break, I am looking for 10-12 contributors to help test out a new social platform that is trying to make sound social.
CfJ's soundboard will be a collection of ideas and thoughts on the news of the day with students, lecturers etc. SkyNews is already using this new platform very effectively and we have been invited to be one of the first publishers!
Interested? Email Laura at lauris dot garcia at gmail dot com.
