So those of you who follow me on Twitter – which is all of you according to the stats – may have realised I had some pretty big news just over a week ago.
We won the Guardian Student Media Awards Publication of the Year!
We really did win it, honest
In the moments and days following the ceremony it was quite bizarre to be on the other side of the journalists’ dictaphone. I now really feel for interviewees as it’s rather difficult trying to say the same thing in a different way a dozen times over.
So I won’t say any more here as I’ve literally run out of soundbytes, but I thought I’d compile all the coverage – for my mum and all that:
The Guardian - ’Students put their protests to one side at the Guardian media awards’
Journalism.co.uk – ‘Kingston Uni paper wins student publication of the year at Guardian awards’
Press Gazette – ‘Kingston Uni paper named student publication of the year’
Kingston Informer – ‘Kingston University newspaper wins top award’
Wannabe Hacks – GSMA – Kingston Uni: we won “because we took risks”
