Swansea NUJ students gaining recognition

I was flicking through the National Union of Journalists magazine this evening when the headline'Students form chapel' caught my eye.


Above: A piece from the NUJ magazine on the conference I and other student journalists covered last year.

Suprisingly the NUJ magazine has featured the NUJ chapel we are trying to establish at the university in their magazine.

It's only a small piece but nice to see our efforts in Swansea have been recognised.

I look forward to forming a strong NUJ group at the university next year to ensure once myself and other key activists are gone students will continue to reap the rewards from being NUJ members.

Swansea Uni NUJ Chapel

Nine current Waterfront journalists and myself attended the Swansea branch meeting of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) last night, with the view to making the uni a hotbed of NUJ activism.

I gave a brief talk on the NUJ at yesterdays Annual General Meeting (AGM) and mentioned that there was a meeting of the Swansea branch straight afterwards.

The fact that nine people then came along at short notice to the Environment Centre for the NUJ Swansea branch meeting shows the commitment of the aspiring journalists in the Waterfront to succeed as journalists, improve the Waterfront and fight for good journalism.

I am calling a meeting to start the NUJ Swansea University Chapel on:

Tuesday, 23rd at 6pm Venue to be confirmed

Please make the effort to come along if you are passionate about journalism, want to improve journalism at Swansea University and you are willing to do something about it.

Drop me a line at exec@swansea-union.co.uk if you have any questions etc.
