Video of the studio opening

There's some new video of the studio opening, and some brief vox-pop type interviews on the Winchester Journalism You Tube channel. The opening speech is HERE... the VOX POPS are HERE.

Horrie's book

Chris Horrie writes: Big review of my new book about politics in The Times - see: True Blue". Book selected as 'book of the week' by the Times. Also it will be the Mail on Sunday's Book of the Week this Sunday, apparently. Look out for promo appearances on TV and radio over the next couple of weeks. Confirms Horrie status in his own imagination as the UK's wisest and wittiest person and also champion non-fiction writer and long-form journalism maestro.

Year three WINOL timetable

The year three WINOL timetable is here The whole timetable for year three is here EXCEPT for the media studies module you have to do. You will have chosen this in the module catalogue and will have information about that. I know nothing about that.

Year two timetable

The YEAR TWO WINOL timetableIt is here. This is very much the core of the timetable and it deals with all the practical journalism. The sessions vary from day to day and from week to week so you will have to use a diary.

The timetable for the semester as a whole is hereEXCEPT for whatever Media Studies course you have to do. I don't know anything about that and I expect that you will be informed about it once you turn up. But the other modules require a lot of preparation before you arrive, especially the HCJ where you should get started on the reading as soon as you can, if you can.

Thanks to Maddie for raising this. Please post comments here if you have queries, rather than (or in addition to) sending emailsto Chris Horrie. Then everyone can use the information and we can prevent false rumours spreading!

It will be hard work but very rewarding this year. Especially when we are in live production - it is like a runaway train and very much like having a full-time job in that part of the week. The reading for HCJ is also fairly demanding - that's a full day every week to do justice to that. People who want to be journalists will love it; others will hate it (I certainly hope!).
