The Trevelyans were shocked to see their name in a slavery database and a journey to Grenada confirmed the continuing impact of their grim history
Carolyne Lunga passed her viva on Wednesday 23 November and is now Dr Lunga. Her research looks at collaboration in investigative journalism in Southern Africa. I learnt a lot about IJ developments in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Eswatini as the internal examiner for her thesis. And thanks to Professor Bruce Mutsvairo of the University of Utrecht for acting as external examiner.

Absolutely delighted to wake up and see @cityjournalism at number 1 for Journalism on the Guardian Good University Guide! it’s a wonderful testament to our staff, their dedication to teaching and the amazing things our students go on to do.
My first film for Granada TV’s World in Action series was on why women were being marginalised by the football authorities, clubs and many male fans. I spent some weeks hanging out with some heavy drinking Stockport fans who had very trenchant views of the place of women in football. There were a few signs of hope – we went to film the amazing AC Milan team. Thirty-two years later determined women have persisted and now women’s football is being recognised for the force it is. The programme went out in January 1990 and was called, rather clumsily, Send for the Sisters. The producer was Stephen Clarke (why no women on the reporting side? Football was not the only thing that a gender issue). I did a couple of articles off the back of the programme and here’s the Guardian one. Perhaps it is time for Granada to re-show the programme as a piece of history.
Another huge result for the department in the NSS – 88% overall satisfaction – up 4% from the record-breaking previous year.
Have a look at what we offer:
Absolutely thrilled that @cityjournalism has become number 1 in the UK for the study of media and communications! We have jumped 35 places in a year. A testament to the hard work & success of amazing staff and students, especially during Covid. Our students get good jobs in the industry. Out of 97 Universities.
