From Britain’s The Guardian:
It is a sport where men are men, players who go down injured are derided as ‘poofs’…
…Yet Manchester City (English soccer team) have decided to challenge football’s taboo by becoming a champion of equal rights, hiring gays to work at its stadium and training ground and attracting new supporters from the city’s [...]

Day 6 Monday Ecstatic day
Today I come into work to see my big two page feature. Nothing like it for the ego. Feels like finally all the work is worth it yeaaahh. Best thing is I wrote 1400 words instead of 900 (asked the editor to tell me which parts she wanted [...]

Well Monday was the quietest day I had at the GCB, and that’s saying something! Nothing was happening on the scanner, nothing major from the weekend and nothing on the rounds. Because it was quiet, after doing some vox pops I trawled through hansard and found some good stories. They didn’t get a run but [...]

If Sir Paul developed a pokie machine gambling addiction costing him millions, could he say he had been robbed by the one armed bandit and a one legged bandit?

Don’t you think its funny that Labor MP Nita Cunningham, the one who quit suddenly due to ill-health, and in effect triggered the election, is the member for Bundaberg?
Ill-health, Bundaberg. Ill-health, Bundaberg. Ill-health, Bundaberg… hmmmm
I wonder if she checked into hospital.

Hi Jschoolers!
I’ve been reading your internship postings from Alice Springs with great interest, after a week in the wilderness incommunicado. Zane — I learnt about the Queensland Liberal Party change of leadership from your blog! You all seem to be having a great time and producing lots of stories. I hope I [...]

Hello folks. Yep it’s me. I realise I have been a bit Lazy McSlackenstein in my offerings so I’ll try and make up for it now. I was fairly exhausted last week, but I’m feeling a bit more energised. Anyway, here is a bit of a rundown of my week at the Australian.
Day One: Showed [...]

After a dangerous amount of built up nervous anticipation, I have completed week one of my internship and I’m still alive!
Among many things, week one has certainly been an experience worth remembering.
The first couple of days were the most difficult. Somewhat disillusioned and fraught that I didn’t have what it took, I found myself questioning [...]

Well on my first post ever I told you all about my poor friend Justin Koschitzke and his injury woes (if you remember Media Watch bemoaned the fact that he was the first story on Channel 9 news one night, rather unfairly I thought). Well GREAT news he made his comeback today (Sunday), played [...]

Well bearing in mind I was with the police reporters for the week, I’ll start by quoting the chief police reporter – “This was one of the slowest crime weeks we’ve had in years, sorry mate.” That sums it up pretty well, my last few days have been quiet but I’ve had the chance to [...]

Firstly, I would like to give a big HELLO to my Jschool peers. I hope it is all going ok for you all, with the array of newspapers we are at I’m sure we’ll all have cool different stories to tell when we get back to class.

There is not a lot to add to whatever has already been said. I agree with all in saying the student industry day was excellent and an absolute must for final year journalism students. Where were they all?
Every speaker on the day contributed some piece of advice which was useful. Firstly [...]
