News on the move.

October 21, 2014

Late blog post but on Thursday 16th, a handful of us went to the News on the move conference at the News UK building in London.

After waiting around in what looked like a posh hotel lobby we were directed upstairs where lunch was awaiting. Expecting a few jacket spuds and some measly sandwiches I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted with a 5 star buffet!

So I did the hipster thing and took a photo of my pudding.

After a very satisfying lunch, the afternoon started with a few talks and discussions including one from Mike Darcey (news UK chief and publisher of the Sun). He began to tell us a few things about Newspapers so I took some bullet points.

  • The public rely on newspapers to tell us facts. Not sure if the public would agree with that one seeing as the papers tell so many lies 😉 haha.
  • They remain essential to political debate e.g. the referendum.
  • Strong democracies need strong media.
  • Newspapers are the home of Journalism.

Whether or not you agree with some of those points, newspapers provide a source of media and news for all generations.

Other topics of the day included how social media is changing the world of news, how people consume their news, and even the neuroscience of memory encoding and emotional intensity. At this point my attention did start to flicker and I just pretended to be taking notes.

I could discuss more and throw some statistics around but frankly anyone who isn’t interested in the topic would be bored. I don’t want to bore you.

As the afternoon concluded we moved on to networking drinks. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t excited about the free beer, but I am practically a student what do you expect?

The evening fast approached and we mooched about editors, reporters, advertising agents, etc It felt good to even be standing next to these well known people!

A few beers later on the train home I realised that I had to drive from the station to my house (oops).

A classy day and there was me being a gross human being on the floor of the train carriage eating dairylea dunkers in a last ditch attempt to stop feeling tipsy.

Sacred bath time for some self care me time ✨ I Sacred bath time for some self care me time ✨ I can easily spend a good hour in the tub once I've done a self care ritual or dig deep into a book. I've recently been using the eucalyptus bath salts from the @thenaturalspacosmetics which smell incredible! For a while now I've been using vegan and sustainable products where I can in order to be a little more eco friendly. These little pouches are made from recycled materials and are 100% biodegradable! They are also all natural and fully vegan. Just to prove that you don't need to compromise on your beauty regimes anymore by using sustainable and vegan items. Let's take care of our planet 👍🏼 #gifted @thesocialcat__

Raise your hand if you love Christmas pjs ❤️🎅🏻 I spent most of yesterday in these as Tom was hit by the dreaded 🦠 so instead of us seeing family and me not wanting to leave him on his Larry, we had a self isolation dinner courtesy of my parents. Not an ideal scenario but like I was reminded yesterday there are definitely worse situations to be in. Still grateful I got to stuff my face and lucky to have my family ❤️ hope you all had a wonderful Christmas🎄
