Coast Stores has switched its blog from Wordpress to Tumblr. I don't know it why matters but I find this upsetting.

This is their blog on Wordpress:


And this is their blog on Tumblr:

I've started work as a producer/ presenter on ZoneOneRadio a brand new community radio station for Central London.

I will be working on our Charity profiles; discussing volunteer opportunities within the Capital etc.

But I also wanted to share some of the work I've done so far. These are the drops that will air throughout the day on the station. I'm voicing with the amazing Jamie. If you like what you hear, it's thanks to the superb coaching skills of Mr. Matthew Layton, ZoneOneRadio's evil genius.

Compare with the results of our first workshop. Bare in mind for this one, the group members had only just met and had to work together to create some content.

Honestly, I think we did well.

Anyways, tune into ZoneOneRadio; It's up and running. Like the Facebook page, follow us on Twitter.com/z1radio and don't keep the goodness to yourself. Please share.

OK remember when I discovered that Caribbean Axis has posted my blogs. Well that link is now down (haters). Fortunately I took some screen shots of the my blog posts (vanity). Here they are for you to read and comment on.

Journalism could be nasty. Let's not let the unpleasentness of the phone hacking drama blind you. The 4th Estate is essential to our democracy, because it uncovers the information our decision makers would rather stay hidden. The information we need to ensure they are doing their jobs. To uncover this information sometimes our journalists need to engage in some blatantly illegal or immoral things. Fact!

The real tragedy of drama that has lead to the the Leveson Inquiry is that it has become a celebrity parade (says the girl who was geeking out over Nick Davis's testimony). The phone hacking wasn't the worse thing to have happened. The real crime is that journalists were abusing the cover of the 4th estate to find out who Hugh Grant was sleeping with. Now that's rubbish!

If you're going to break the low, and use the fact that your are a journalist as your excuse, I'd rather you be uncovering money laundering at some Fortune 500, or how charities really spend your money. Something like that. Everything the public is interested in isn't always in their interest.

As for the celebrities, we know that they are fake; turns out when the media's detective work turns up nothing, they write fiction as news. Their punishment would be the loss of publicity, and perhaps then we'll get our journalist back.

Video of the burlesque star discussing feminism, her work, art and how having a personal brand worked in her favour. When she started, strippers were of the rock chick, Mötley Crüe styling. Dita realised that she had something different to offer, and created her act based on that. Now she's an international phenomenon.



This stripper now has her own clothing line, she's been the face of Cointreau for years, and women (not men) are waiting for hours to see her shows and buy her books.

Today's job market might be tough, but looking at what you have to offer might be the key to your success. Especially since it makes you unique. That's the take away from this post.

Guess who has published blogs? Me.

Yes, that's right. When I was in London studying for my MA, I saw a request on Twitter for Caribbean bloggers. I responded to the ad and started to write about my life as a student for Caribbean Axis.

Yesterday, I discovered my posts for the first time! I explain it all in the video below.

Oh, I sent my friend, the copy-editor, the link and she likes them. Of course she mentioned the errors, but then she suffers from a G.O.D. complex.
