The date has been set for the 12th of Dec and in CFJ tradition, many of our students will join the ranks of journalists all over the world covering overnight counts. Fueled by coffee and snacks, our brave NCTJ students will help tell the story of the 17 constituencies heading to the polls in Kent. 

Want a front row to history? Want some amazing work experience to put on your CV? Need some material for your NCTJ portfolio?

We're looking for 34 brave souls to cover Kent's 17 constituencies in pairs. You'll be covering the night for KMTV and other outlets. This opp is unpaid but your expenses are covered through the Uni's work Bursary Fund.

Email Laura Garcia ASAP if you're interested on lgarcia@kmtv.co.uk.

Law Business Research are an award-winning global provider of legal content and business intelligence for the legal and intellectual property markets.  CFJ grad Sam Clark works at LBResearch and has some insider knowledge for you:

Reporters typically write one well-researched news article per day. We tend to go from primary sources only and most of our contacts are senior lawyers and policymakers. It can be quite technical to start with but the publication covers such a focused area that you quickly become a bit of an expert. The people are smart and friendly and there’s a good amount of international travel involved.

Calling all Centre for Journalism students and graduates.  We're holding our first Virtual Open Day tomorrow evening as we try to find the next generation of lucky students to join the CfJ family - and we need your help in publicising it. 

We'll be livestreaming through our Youtube channel from 6.40pm on Tuesday 15 October to show prospective students and parents what life in this busy department is like, explain the admissions process, and demonstrate with real case studies the kinds of careers that can lie ahead. 

We’ll be looking in detail at our accredited BA, MA and Year in Journalism programmes, and previewing our brand new Television and Digital Video Production undergraduate programme that starts in 2020.

Would you like to take part in a BBC Radio Kent programme?

BBC Radio Kent have a programme airing on 15th October 2019 which will look at how people are using mobile phones, whether they are used more to make calls or to text or surf the net.  The programme is looking for both younger and older contributors to go to the studio to have a conversation about how they use their phones and how they prefer to communicate and keep in touch with others.
