Technology Interfering with My Sport
Videos and replays are a part of a sports game now, but have we stopped relying on what we see with our bare eyes? Take for instance the 13th minute in State of Origin 2015 Game 2: Greg Inglis snaps up the ball and runs 90m down the field and makes a spectacular try. He(…)
Exotic Finland
If you’re craving solitude, silence and relaxation, this could be the place for you. During the early summer months at the end of May to September average temperatures are a comfortable 25°C. My suggestion would be to rent a cabin by one of the 187,888 lakes while you traipse naked from a soothing, fragrant sauna to enjoy the Finnish(…)
Final Days of Work Experience
It was so sad watching it all come to an end, having to say goodbye to the community, to the editor and to the journalists. It was an incredible experience. I had my work published, I was able to take photo’s, I planned my days out to finish my stories. In the final few days(…)
Work Experience Days 5&6
Day Five: Today was publishing day, I couldn’t help much because I don’t know how to use their software or how to set up their paper. Today was the least exciting but it was still interesting, the editor had me sit in his office for a while and watch as he put the paper together.(…)
Work Experience Day 3&4
Day Three: I got offered a job today! Not by the paper but by the Gotta Love Logan organisation after I wrote a story on them! THIS is the best day ever! I went out to take photo’s of them for the story and they offered me a job! I cannot believe it, I am(…)
Work Experience Day 1&2
Amazing. That is all I can say when I think about my first two days at the Jimboomba Times. The days went so quickly, I was so busy. Day One: I found out they only have one full time journo, one part-time and the editor working at the paper. The editor also runs the Beaudesert(…)
Work experience at the 2014 Queensland Clarion Awards by the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance
This a Saturday morning and I could not explain how excited I was about the night ahead. I was to intern with the powerful journalists’ union – the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance; or in short, the MEAA. Having been already a current student member of the union, I knew this would be an amazing(…)
With eyes wide shut.
“A local man came up and said ‘please – what does this mean?’ I explained I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website – but on the internet people only look at pictures of kittens.”- Banksy What will it take for the world to start listening? What will it take(…)
Genetic modification and the prevention of disease.
Genetic modification is one of the most controversial issues of our time. According to an article published in the courier mail on the 4th of February 2015, “British MP’s say it’s ok to make babies from the DNA of three people.” This is a move that could prevent children from inheriting fatal diseases(…)
Flemington ditches the crop
When you hear the words ‘Melbourne Cup’ you generally think of two things. Yes, horse racing would be the first but the second would be “what am I going to wear?” The Melbourne Cup is one of Australia’s most important days on the fashion calendar, where all the stars step out in their best frocks(…)
Would you like a Big Mac with your selfie?
There is no doubt that Instagram has become one of the two largest social media platforms, where everyday people become insta famous and the selfie became a social norm. But gone are the days of scrolling through endless amounts of perfectly angled and filtered photos without any disruption from the outside world. Just like Facebook,(…)
