Study to be a journalist –
places still available
want to be a journalist? maybe a sports reporter, news
reporter, magazine journalist or photojournalist?
If so, there are a limited number of places
still available in 2010 on the Up To Speed
Journalism courses in Bournemouth.
The 24-week intensive courses start in
September and January, and lead to the
coveted NCTJ Diploma in Journalism.
Based in the Bournemouth Daily
Echo building, Up To Speed offer a
42 Listed
range of courses with a tighter, more
specific, focus to the teaching. Instead
of lecturing on journalism in general,
they provide you with the choice to
specialise in your particular subject area,
be it News Reporting, Sports Reporting,
Magazine Journalism, Photo Journalism
or Broadcast Journalism. A broad range
of journalism essentials are also offered,
from the testy waters of court reporting,
to the detailed intricacies of shorthand.
The majority of Up To Speed journalists
go on to have successful careers in
publishing, media and PR, with recent
graduates securing media roles in
industries as diverse as Formula 1, health
Snippets
and beauty, charities, TV listings and
national newspapers.

Archaeologists at the University of Winchester have established an important new
heritage education initiative within North Cornwall. Dr Niall Finneran, Lecturer
in Archaeology, is currently leading a detailed study of early medieval sites in 10
parishes between Tintagel on the coast and the northern end of Bodmin Moor. The
Slaughterbridge site is close to Tintagel and has links to King Arthur.
“The discovery of a 13th century settlement in the region has put the site on the
archaeological map,” explained Dr Finneran. “We are aiming to build a resource
centre which will reach a wide variety of people, providing a study centre and
museum, as well as food and accommodation for volunteers.
