Bibliophile studying Public Relations
I only had one event scheduled for the Sunday, but I was quite excited to attend the session and wrap up my Newark Book Festival 2020 experience. Overall the festival has been a highly enjoyable event, I've loved the opportunity to log into these sessions and relax at home while listening to authors discuss some…
I attended the Newark Book Festival last year with Siren FM, and I never imagined that the events would take place online this year! Even so, I have loved attending two events virtually today and I have so many thoughts. I never need an excuse to discuss books or listen to people talking about books!…
I wanted to write about this campaign because I thought it was such an ingenious idea and it's one of my favourite recent ones! The campaign started off by recognizing the issue that needed to be fixed - the fact that people were overloooking the need to rehome dogs and cats because they were too…

I had a complete flashback to my Media A Level yesterday when I had a lecture on textual analysis. I don't think I've ever been so happy to see Roland Barthes be mentioned and immediately think about my old media teacher, who first introduced me to the world of media. I never thought about how…
