Project title:
‘Sleuth’ – the Roehampton Journal
“[The journal will] provide an innovative way of engaging the Southlands community while also creating a recognisable showcase for student journalism.”
Researcher:
Dr John Doyle
Project proposal:
The Roehampton Journal is a new magazine that reports the activities of Southlands College, covers events across the university community and highlights stories from the local area.
The Roehampton Journal is created, designed, edited and produced by members of the MA Journalism cohort at Roehampton. It will be supervised by the module tutor, Alison McClintock and the course convenor, John Doyle. The publication will consist of contributions from students on the MA Journalism and will focus on the university community, established partnership networks and University of Roehampton alumni.
The Roehampton Journal builds on the recent expansion of Journalism provision at Roehampton and will support the proposed accreditation of the MA Journalism with the Professional Publishers Association (PPA). The Roehampton Journal will provide an outlet for our students to get their work published in both print and online. The Journal will also provide a range of digital products; such as audio, video and social media feeds. It will therefore provide an innovative way of engaging the Southlands community while also creating a recognisable showcase for student journalism.
