It's great that you have so much enthusiasm and that you're already starting to think about work experience and internships! Just briefly, (and from what I know) * how long do they usually last Anywhere from one day to a whole year. I think the longest of I've heard of is one year. usually...

AMEZ, I just read you you poetry mw and it's fantastic. :) well done! Holden4ever89, I liked Neutral, the images were really really effective and worked well with your poetry. I think this was purely coincidental but you both used the Cocktail Glass shaped concrete poetry. interesting!

I'm an short asian girl, and i managed to get a job in media and an internship in tv. don't concentrate on it, and keep thinking that it might possible work against you. I never really thought about it because thankfully i haven't ever encountererd racism directly. but be wise and be...

I agree with kami, and especially what he says about the importance of experience. If your focus is getting a job in the media industry, and you REALLY do want it, you should be looking for experience in the industry. I'm a first year journalism student and through hard work got a media job...

wow, it's nearly the end, and you get to have one subject out of the way now. I can't believe time goes by so quickly. there should be guidelines given to you by your teacher, they should definitely know, otherwise from memory... font: arial or times new roman. (make sure it's double...

lol, maybe. which sucked because i didn't have a single contact at the end of last year. asian family does not help.

usually most jobs in the media industry is all through connecitons, or so I'm told by people working in the media. but when you study media at uni you usually get to meet people who work in the industry and are on their way up by the time they graduate leaving an open position. so i was very...

a GOOD PIP can't be done overnight. a shit PIP can be. either way it's still a PIP.

o.m.g. start now! I didn't finish till 8.45am the morning it was due, and that was only because i had to drive to school to hand it in at 9, but wow, I'm glad you're finally starting. it's possible to pull a PIP off the night before, maybe, just take a look at this thread...

I did poetry for my mw and when i read over a couple of my poems now i want to change so many things. even if it's just an indentation or ONE SINGLE COMMA. it really bugged me for a sec that i couldn't change it, but anyway no point in complaining. once you hand it in, it's in. there's no...

It shouldn't be the amount that you're worrying about but rather the quality of what is being written. For me i wrote around 1600 words, i think? it's hard to remember lol, even though it was only last year. Ithink 1500 is a good amount and you should aim for around this in around 40 minutes...

I got a job at ABC News, dream company (for a journo anyway), dream department, dream pay, but not my dream job (that would be presenter/foreign correspondant/on the road journalist) but at least I've got my foot in the door, and now I'm on my way up. and I'm 1st year uni so woohoo! :)

I LOVED yours nick!!!! I didn't even know it was you until i finished listening to 'Radio?' the radio drama, so witty, it was really entertaining, well done! Mine is 'to scour the creaming crests', i found 4 minor typos, no one will notice anyway. btw, i doubt this girl will read it here, but...

i got my book today! It was a bit surreal holding your published work... anyway, congratulations to everyone who made it in!

Re: Recycled Water: Where the hell is it? Just a note on the taste: Debnam offered me to try 'his' recycled water when i was at one of his press conferences. surprisingly i thought it tasted the same, or even slightly 'purer' than normal drinking water. just an opinion.
