Web students work with BAFTA award-winning TV company

Electronic Publishing Master's students at City University London are working with multi Bafta award-winning Oxford Film and Television on a project to prototype a new web presence for the company. The brief asks the students to consider how a world-class production company should present itself, on the web, at time when more and more film and television is being streamed on the internet.

Senior Lecturer Neil Thurman, said "We are delighted to be able to collaborate with Oxford Film and Television on this project. The Electronic Publishing programme has a long history of successful partnerships with the digital divisions of commercial companies, as well as NGOs and charities. Our students use experiences such as this as a springboard to success in the workplace and we have alumni working throughout the new media industry not just in the UK but world-wide."

Electronic Publishing Student's Work Featured by Guardian.co.uk

Electronic Publishing student, Carolina Ribeiro Pietoso (2009), has had her dissertation project featured on Guardian.co.uk. The project, called "Words from the Guardian" uses the Guardian.co.uk's new open API to allow users to analyse, via 'word clouds', the content of any article published on Guardian.co.uk. The project was part of a wider dissertation titled "Newspapers as Platforms: How Open APIs Can Impact Journalism", in which she investigated how the recent release of open APIs by two major newspapers--The Guardian and The New York Times--is changing the way journalism is produced and perceived. The project was supervised by Vesna Brujic-Okretic and Neil Thurman.

E-publishing Student's Research Prize

Merja Myllylahti, a recent Electronic Publishing (EP) graduate, has won 'best paper' at the International Symposium for Online Journalism in Austin, Texas for work she completed as part of her Master's course. This is the second consecutive year the prize has gone to an EP student.

The Texas symposium is one of the premier forums for the professional and academic discussion of online news media and this year's event, the 10th, features speakers including: Jim Brady, former Vice President and Executive Editor, WashingtonPost.com; and Jonathan Dube, Vice President, ABCNews.com.

Merja's paper, co-written with City academic Neil Thurman, examines the fate of Finland's Financial Times-Taloussanomat-as it stopped printed to go only-only. Their findings are particularly relevant with the recent announcements from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and Christian Science Monitor that they too are to stop printing to focus on web-delivery.

Press coverage on Merja's work has been extensive: click here to view the blog from The Wall Street Journal, the article in The Guardian and the opinion piece in The Independent.
