Media Darlings was originally founded with the intention of straddling the space between student journalists, journalism students and those already in the industry.
Since then it’s become basically a vehicle for me and my work. I’m Rory by the way; I’m a political reporter from New Zealand now based in the UK with the Morning Star.
I’ve written for Scoop, Werewolf, The New Zealand Education Review, The Wairarapa Times-Age, Wellington Access Radio, the New Zealand Press Association and a bunch of student magazines. I’ve also appeared as a media commentator on Radio New Zealand’s MediaWatch, Radio Active’s Scoop Report and 95bfm’s Counterclockwise. Death threats and/or offers of employment accepted here.
Congratulations on the significance and valuable contribution you made on MEDIAWATCH 23/5/10. Good raduio. Thank you.
There has always been a gap between big media and the more lively student journalists and freelance writers. I’ve been encouraging our graduates (and students) to make contributions also.
I’ll advise them of MEDIADARLINGS.NET so expect some comments and contributions.
