Last Monday, our fourth-year and postgraduate JMC students headed to the BBC Scotland HQ in Glasgow 🎥 They met the Digital News and Social Media teams, got a behind-the-scenes look at the day-to-day life of BBC journalists, and even stepped inside the TV studio!

🎉 JMC has been buzzing with events over the last few weeks at Strathclyde! From guest speakers to social events, it’s been great to see students engaging with journalism both inside and outside the classroom.

🎓 JMC students gained hands-on experience when BBC Academy brought BBC Verify on Tour to Strathclyde. The event tackled misinformation, verification, and the rise of deepfakes — key challenges for journalism today. www.strath.ac.uk/humanities/f...

Lovely #Glasgow evening for our #Journalism #media #Communication Pub quiz Social @unistrathclyde.bsky.social student union organised with the student newspaper #telegraph @strathhumanities.bsky.social @strathjmc.bsky.social

Starting now! BBC Academy brought BBC Verify on tour to Strayhclyde in a partnership with JMC. We’re kicking off a series of events and workshops with 200+ high school pupils and Strath students. Strath is the only uni in Scotland hosting this event.

📣 On 25 Feb, we’re excited to welcome BBC Verify to Strathclyde for a full-day educational event on campus. High-school pupils will join us for masterclasses, workshops & panels on misinformation, data journalism, TV production, careers advice & more — with contributions from our JMC colleagues.

🚨New publication alert! @antoniskalog.bsky.social, @patyrossini.bsky.social, @lamprinirori.bsky.social and I investigated the implications of news avoidance in Greece and Brazil. We looked at how different patterns of news avoidance relate to misinformation, trust, and electoral participation

We’re delighted to share a standout piece by first-year JMC student Emily Henderson. Emily wrote a sharp, timely review - so good it was published in the Rutherglen Reformer and on the website. Well done, Emily, here’s to many more bylines to come! www.dailyrecord.co.uk/in-your-area...
