Starting TODAY, join The Courier, NSR & NUTV for the launch of Student Media Afternoons!

Every Wednesday in term time from 1:30pm, you can sign up for a range of multimedia projects and get involved with our incredible community. The sessions will take place in the Bamburgh Room of NUSU Central/The Hadrian Building on most weeks, though notice will be given for room changes.

Content sign-ups will run from 1:30-2pm, before the second half of the session switches to a talk from a guest speaker. This will be a weekly occurrence, and every guest speaker will have a background in multimedia production of some form - well worth sticking around until 2pm!

Look forward to seeing you all there!
