Print, radio, TV. All things we do pretty well at Lincoln. Radio especially — our student station Siren is going great guns.

What we don’t do, however, is them all at the same time. Print is represented with the several student publications around campus, some of which I’ve talked about before. I edit one of them. Radio, as I’ve mentioned already, is focused on the impressive Siren FM. And TV will, I’m told, be taking the community service route fairly soon.

There’s one arm of journalism I haven’t mentioned: Online. The three others can all be lumped into online. Print journalists writing great articles, radio students creating interesting content available for download á la BBC.

TV is easy too. I wrote an article for Press Gazette last week about the Grantham Journal using free web tools to report stories, one of which was a YouTube channel with some news reports. There’s no reason why TV journalists at Lincoln can’t do this too.

Stick it all on one simply built website and we’re on to a winner. It would be a hit, I’m sure. At the very least, it would provide Lincoln students with the best kind of training for this new media environment we’re all about to face.

I’m having a meeting with some string-pullers at our uni tomorrow. I’ll be bringing the above ideas to the table.
