I hate to say it... but the guy raises some pretty good points!

Pulp Magazine Front Cover

I am currently working on getting the pdf of the first issue of Pulp Magazine uploaded on to here. For now though all I can get up is the Front cover... just wish I knew why the blue has turned orange! More info to follow.

Students working during Christmas Holidays

Story by Joanne Christie for the Guardian.

Now I hated the fact I was unable to go home for Christmas as I haven't seen my Family since early September. However I have now quit my job as I cannot keep it up alongside university, it was affecting my work too much. I am here to learn and grow as a journalist, not to work in retail!

I think this story is one which should be followed up once research has been conducted. It would be interesting to see how much working while being at university affects grades and such.

Brilliant story Joanne, thanks for raising awareness on it.

Are they any less the media whore than I?

Brilliant! Harlan Ellison talking about something all journalists and writers can relate to... have a listen 02:15 in onwards is my personal fave comment.
