I have just recently finished my second year, with results made available last week I can happily say second year has had a great ending.

A soaking wet homeless man with a sleeping bag drenched over his shoulders, was instructed to leave […]

This morning, the papers online seemed to plaster Nigel Farage’s happy face across as much as they could, presenting some kind of ‘success’ story after another UKIP member gained a seat and became the second UKIP MP.

As I’m in my third year of study, I was given some module options and one of the modules that I chose was ‘Media and the Body’. So far over the whole module, one thing that has become apparent is the constant mention of the human body in popular culture. I decided to look at […]

I’m just about to enter my third year of university (dun dun dun) and strangely enough I’m not nervous. There feels like a bizarre prerequisite for students to be panicked in their last years of uni but I’m not feeling the stress yet. However, I’m sure this ‘easy like a Sunday morning’ feeling will cease to exist after […]

Hey everyone, so this month I’ve been studying a module on audience and reception. What really stood out to me, are the effects of media violence on children and the way in which violence on television impact children’s behaviour. The topic made me think about violence in cartoons, television shows, music, video games, movies and […]
