Did you notice it's almost election time? There's a new-found urgency to fulfill forgotten promises. Innovative name-calling is peaking. Plus the mudslinging is in overdrive. Politics is in the air. So much seems to be happening in the country all of a sudden – it’s Mr. Random Politician’s way of bringing in the votes from every possible demographic. If you are an aspiring politician, these are

Its 7:00 pm on the 4th of May 2010. Some pretty amazing things have happened today. Not to me, but just around the world - you know the kind of stuff that usually qualifies as news, often even grabbing headlines on some sites. And then there's Ninemsn. The headline on Ninemsn right now? Some twit's tweets about another twit. Exciting stuff. Meanwhile, in the real world: There were earthquakes

Apathy. That’s the real problem the 21st century faces. War is not the problem. The problem is not caring enough about peace. The West is not the problem; neither is the Middle East. The problem is being indifferent to each other’s concerns. Politicians aren’t the problem. The problem is not caring enough to vote. Terrorism is not the problem. The problem is being indifferent to another

In the past few months Australia and Australians have been painted as villains by the Indian media due to the "attacks" on Indian students. What has amazed me in these past few months is that the Indian media has obsessively clung on to this story and (mis?) represented the same story over and over again. I am convinced there are plenty of worthy issues to be discussed so I don't understand why

I took a class last semester called 'Journalism Cultures' and it is one of the best classes I've taken at uni, not so much for the content of the course but more for the professor who inspired and encouraged free thinking debate. Unlike the other classes at uni, Journalism Cultures was less about practical skills and more about thinking about the news and journalism and its influence on society

Should he or shouldn't he?....(have won the Nobel, that is. And that's as far as I'm going with the Matrix reference). For the last couple of days I have watched the world debate about whether or not Barack Obama deserves the honour and I have unashamedly sat on the fence because for some reason I didn't have any strong opinions about either side of the argument. (Not having strong opinions on a

Some people want to be doctors, others fashion designers, some farmers and some even want to be politicians. But, all I have ever wanted to be is a journalist. Over the last couple of years, I have worked more in the field of Public Relations and Internet Marketing. Any serious journalist will scoff at me for this and look at me with contempt. I know. But while I have nothing against PR &
