HSLive website to face the knife once more
Just a quick note to say that the Huddersfield Student website will once again be undergoing a facelift. Thanks to a little help from our Fashion Editor we've managed to locate someone who knows what he's doing when it comes to websites. I'm pleased to announce that, towards the end of this academic year - date TBC - we will be launching, in [...]
Earlier draft sent to print
Though the January issue of the newspaper is receiving good feedback from all who have spoken to me, and though I am happy that it is looking good and starting to contain more news and features that our readers have asked for, there are a number of errors in the edition that need to be addressed. In an editorial confusion, the penultimate draft [...]
HSLive poll gets higher response than UHSU by-elections
If you turn to page 17 of the latest edition of Huddersfield Student (November/December 2009 if you're reading this in the future), I would like to draw your attention to a Comment & Debate article by yours truly, entitled 'Communication, not apathy, is the cause of poor turnout'- or words to that affect anyway. Two days ago I set up a poll [...]
Apologies to Rob Evans
It has been brought to my attention that in the October version of our paper I've accidentally miscredited two of the articles in the music section. In the blur that now is Tuesday, deadline day, the articles on page 21, for some reason or other, were incorrectly credited to Ash Martin. Apologies to Rob Evans, who actually wrote the [...]
Huddersfield Student of the future
Yesterday saw the start of a whole new aspect of life at Huddersfield Student HQ- as if our website launch wasn't big enough. I've had confirmation from VP Education & Welfare that we can stream the General Election debate live online. Yes, this was done at the last debate so I'm sure you'll remain relatively unimpressed, but we'll be [...]
Retraction: Huddersfield Fashion…in Paris
Huddersfield Student would like to apologise to the School of Art, Design and Architecture (ADA), and our readers, for inaccuracy in 'Huddersfield Fashion...in Paris', an article referring to an academic link that ended in 2007. While ADA were pleased with the article's positivity, its inaccuracy was substantial and could not go [...]
First issue issues
The September issue of Huddersfield Student has been available for just over a week now, and people seem to be responding positively to the change and size and the redesign. While I enjoy hearing how well they think the newspaper team has done, there is always room for improvement. I've been over my copy with a red pen and picked out most of [...]
Huddersfield Student rebirth
This year is truly the rebirth of the Huddersfield Student in all senses of the word. Today sees the launch of two new things and I have no idea how, or if, either will be effective and work as planned. First and foremost, the newspaper should be arriving within the next few hours and will be distributed across campus and across various [...]
