Thanks to a new travel bursary, 15 students from across the school will be going out to Guangzhou to do a reporting/media project at the end of March with students studying for UCLan degrees at our campus in China.


All the students’ expenses will be paid for through an International Travel Bursary. To win places on the trip, students had to pitch ideas for projects.


They will be reporting on food culture, local politics, the pollution of the Pearl River and the practice of honouring one’s ancestors through tomb-sweeping.


UCLan journalism students’ websites dominated the Magazine Academy awards in London with four of the six nominations for the digital concept category.


Magazine journalism student Mike Moran was also celebrating with a “highly commended” for his magazine Pixels, aimed at video gamers.


Run by the Periodicals Training Council, competition for the awards is ferocious, with Britain’s 18 accredited magazine journalism courses competing for three prizes.


Journalism students will be travelling to Kenya to see how international news is produced on a 10-day trip over Easter. The group of 10, including photography and television production students, will be visiting news organisations including Reuters, BBC World Service and Al Jazeera in Nairobi.


They will also work on their own assessments, take part in community outreach projects and see how community journalism functions at newspapers and radio stations in disadvantaged areas. Lecturer Dr George Ogola said the project, paid for by the International Travel Bursary, built on long-standing links with UCLan’s field centre in Kenya.
