EastLondonLines
EastLondonLines is an independent news website run by the School of Journalism in the Department of Media, Communications and Cultural Studies. The site runs throughout the year and students on all journalism programmes spend time working on the site, gaining valuable experience and building up their CVs. You work under the supervision of academic and technical staff.
It began in November 2009 as a means of giving students an opportunity to work as professional journalists in a real-life environment. The area covered by the site is a large, diverse, multi-cultural and vibrant part of London, ranging from inner-city Hackney in the North to Croydon on the southern borders of London and provides exciting and varied journalistic challenges.
Take a look at some of the articles by our second and third-year students:
- Read 'Lost and Found: Hackney Museum to exhibit rediscovered photos from the 1980s' by Josh Lamb (2018-2021)
- Read 'London Mayor: who will keep the city's air clean?' by Fran Rankin (2014-2017)
