Journalism TV



For those that are looking for a job and are reality TV fans try this on for size:
Rolling Stone Seeks Reporter via Reality TV
The contest is open to anyone who can legally work in the US and promises "rock'n'roll, fame, and deadlines."
This would have been much better if Hunter S. Thompson was still alive and part of the show involved being taken under his wing.

When's the Canned Film Fesitval? Or What Ever It Was Called

Does anyone know when this is?

It must be coming up soon, last day of classes is April 13th or around there.

For those is Southwestern Ontario, would anyone be interested in going?

Let me know.

I'd have to get the day off work.

I am a journalist

I finally landed a job. Probably won't last long as I am technically inept and can't even figure out how to use my phone. In the meantime send news tips to mpeddie@radiolive.co.nz
Come visit me in beautiful Christchurch too, if you're down my way.
Cheers
Matt

the rob report, part deux

Hey Folks,

Hope you're all doing very well. I'm stunned at how fast the time has passed--almost one year since we left the halls of NCB and the questionable Grad Club food.

In the news from Winnipeg, I recently quit my old job and started a contract gig as a coordinator with MARIA, the Manitoba Audio Recording Industry Association. I'm working with musicians on career development stuff such as how to negotiate a record deal and how to apply for funding. It's decent so far, although there's not a lot of writing involved so I'm trying to chase down some freelancing too.

I'm also planning on visiting T.O. for a few days at the start of May. I'm thinking about organizing a night of belated b-day boozin’, likely on May 5th (not in London or at Poachers this time, unfortunately). I'll post details once I figure them out.

Adios,
Rob
