What is this?

The Student Journalism Handbook is an ongoing project to produce a book full of advice, information, and interviews with past and present student journalists. It will be available as an eBook, and a limited print run will be produced with a copy for every student publication in the UK who wants one. While the book is being produced, all kinds of extra online content will be available for free on this site, including guest posts and news from the world of student journalism.

What’s the point?

Like professional journalists, students can be subject to pressure and intimidation, but are frequently disadvantaged due to lack of experience. High turn-over of editors means wisdom isn’t always passed down effectively, whilst newly-founded publications have no former staff to turn to. Pooling resources, experiences, and suggestions will create something to turn to in a crisis, with suggestions for dealing with legal issues, battles with universities, and growing a student audience.

Who’s behind it?

Right now, the project is a one-woman operation. My name is Alys, I'm a former student newspaper editor, and I'm currently in the netherworld between finishing my undergrad degree at Oxford University and starting my postgrad at City University. I have had some help though, most notably from the Philip Geddes Memorial Prize for student journalism.

What happens next?

The production of the book will take place over the next year. I want to interview student journalists, look at how different university newspapers are run, and talk to professional journalists who had their start in the student press. This blog will also be an important part of bringing the student journalism community together to take on the big issues facing us today. There will be guest posts, how-tos, news pieces, and round-ups of the best student media every week.

How can I get involved?

Follow The Student Journalism Handbook on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to keep in touch. If you would like to write a guest blogpost, or would like to discuss you or your publication being featured in the handbook, email [email protected]

‘David aims to challenge the idea that social media divides us and will look to connect the West with the Far East with honest and insightful photography of the everyday folk of Beijing. Judging by the success of Humans of New York, this is something to keep an eye out for.’

Humanity Hallows interviews David Adesanya about his experience in Beijing.  Words by Daniel Broadley. Read the full article on Humanity Hallows here.

                         THE TROUBLE WITH EMOTICONS

“They are no longer thoughtful opinions, but rather quick bursts of data, clocked up into bar charts or pie charts or whatever the big media bosses want for ‘improving their services’.”

Two Blogs No Waiting

This is the Tumblr side of my clumsy web presence. There’s no need for introductions just read along.

The last edition of Troy University’s Tropolitan published under my leadership came out over three months ago. I’ve had time to reflect, to begin understanding the last 48 months of my life. Put bluntly, working on the Trop changed my life. It didn’t end a drug habit or pull me up out of pits of despair, but I’m better for the experience in a lot of ways, most of them hard to express, even for the verbose.

I’ve been a reporter and a copy editor, but from August 2014 to May 2015 I was an editor-in-chief. It was leadership boot camp. It was exhausting. It was incredibly rewarding.

I learned a lot about myself, a lot about newspapering and a lot about being in charge. I’ve tried to condense the things I think will be most helpful to the most people into a few bullet points. These are really only a start.

Check out the rest back at the mothership.
