anyone see this a paper from Griffith college has a sstory on front page that reads "independent' journalist denounces griffith in biased report...

well i remember reading about some comments yerone gwen made in the village about harry browne and they were having a tit for tat arguement so I read the bit in the indo bit where she said bitched about griffith college I think she just red-bashing or something?

I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but I heard about an article in the Indo (or Sindo) which went through all the journalism courses in Ireland, it was supposed to destroy Griffith, and made a comment like "parents, dont waste your time sending your children here, just get them a job in The Sun" or something similar. Even if this isn't the article or journalist in question I'm sure it didn't sit well with the students at Griffith

don't think it was quite a guide to media courses. halley was having a go at the lecturers on the courses in griffith - saying they all went one way (politically...). also said media courses were of questionable benefit when it came to one getting a job. then admitted she had gone to griffith college herself. stunning sindo journalism again.

presumably she forgot to hand in an assignment/got a 2.2 in her degree there or something - had 500 words to fill and decided she'd try her hand at polemic. and failed. harry browne slagged her off cause of some of her articles in the following week's Village, and she responded by saying that he was a griffith sypathiser (or something equally stupid), cause he was an outside examiner.

all absolute nonsense.

Ah I see.

I don't know much about Griffiths course, I have met one graduate and she hadn't a clue but that was probably more to do with the fact that she was a moron rather than the course she attended.
We've been told many times in our course in Dhulaigh that no qualifications will ensure a future job, and I suppose that applies to most subjects. You can come out with top marks in theory but have no ability when it comes to the practicality of it, I'd be surprised if any Journalism or Media course in Ireland leads students to believe otherwise.

Media/Journalism courses are not the way to a job in journalism. Any decent journalist will tell you to study politics, history or european studies. Journalism and English are too narrow if you want to be a journo...
