Love on Speed: Global Hobo

We’d met on our respective gap-year trips across Europe. How very unique and Australian of us. A mutual friend said we were destined to be together because we both play soccer, have blonde hair and like dumb jokes. It was fate. We were introduced and I gave him an awkwardly exuberant wave – I knew […]

I Stood the Eiffel Tower and Felt Nothing: Global Hobo

Written by moi and originally posted on Global Hobo: There’s a thump, and the sound of skidding tires. A muffled screech makes its way out of my mouth as I furiously clutch at the brakes and drag my Birkenstocks into the road in vain, trying to avoid another incident. The dog emits a high pitched […]

06: La La Land

Author’s note: let’s just address right here and now that I’m a romantic and I will therefore gush for the next few hundred words because this film was stunning. Okay, carry on What a movie. What a cast. What a soundtrack. I know this may be a big call, but this is why I love and want to make movies […]

04: Deepwater Horizon

It’s been a while since I’ve done a film review as I haven’t really seen anything worth writing about as of late I did see Girl on the Train last week, which I loved, but I was too into the movie to take any mental notes on it. So, props to Tate Taylor and the love […]

Watch The Debate On Social Media

First of all, can we just talk about the debate for a second? Ouch. It was so painful, holy crow. This takes second hand embarrassment to a whole new level! I don’t really like to discuss politics often with people as I think everyone makes their own decisions for reasons that make sense to them. […]

Puppies + Journalism’s Fate

To kick off this post I’d like to say that I am beyond sad that I didn’t make it to this morning’s lecture with the one and only Graham Cairns (mostly because I missed seeing Susan’s doggos) However, I did listen to it online and boy oh boy, was it a beauty. Graham also happens to be […]

Publish First Correct Later

As journalists, we are constantly working against the clock We’re told countless times, “publish first and correct it later” in order to get in first Only 20% of journalists always check their facts before publishing. Almost half of journalists said they published most of their stories as quickly as possible to correct later if necessary. ING […]

Bad News for Female Journalists

Good evening fellow people of the internet, I had my final exam style assessment piece for KJB222 today (thank goodness) but unfortunately it has somewhat bled me dry of any brain matter. I have been in a mostly comatose state watching Community for the past hour and a half, relying on blinks to act communicate […]
