We've taken a bit of a sabbatical over here at Splash Sunday HQ (after communications officer Jess began her NCTJ and realised how time consuming Teeline is... FYI) But we haven't forgotten you, and we've been collating the very best of student media while we've been away. We hope you enjoy reading what we've found. And
We've got six more Sunday reads for you this week: from coverage of criticism of UEA sportspark over branding perceived as racist, to not one, but two, winter in Scotland specials. (Sensing a theme here.) And pieces from Glasgow University Magazine, The Boar, and Redbrick also impressed our committee members this week. Well done to everyone included!
Welcome to another Splash Sunday, brought to you as I sit on my sofa, watching a documentary about the Queen (I blame The Crown for this...) We've got six really great articles for you to read this week: from an investigation that featured in Private Eye, to a round up of 2017 in music, there should
Welcome to the first Splash Sunday of the New Year. We hope everyone had a great Christmas, and enjoyed some well-earned time relaxing. And a big shout out to everyone who's already back to work publishing some really great journalism. I'm still making my way through the chocolate coins, so hats off to you all. Here

From Donald Trump's inauguration in January, to the release of the MP 'sleaze' spreadsheet in October, via the surprise UK general election in June, the nation's mood when it came to politics was summed up by Brenda from Bristol. And things weren't
We've been busy at SPA HQ this week running through every detail of our two fantastic bids for #SPANC18 - and remember, its not too late to submit your feedback on Cardiff and Lancaster's submissions. Head over to our Facebook page for details! It's a short and sweet Splash Sunday this week, featuring picks from our
It's been a strange week. I'm still in full denial that we're into the run-up to Christmas season, despite the plethora of TV adverts and amount of Black Friday bargains on offer. However, shoppers crowding Oxford Street on Saturday afternoon clearly disagreed - and the social media response to an incident that turned out to be little more
It was my day off work on Tuesday and overnight four “breaking news” stories were reported, including the Zimbabwe coup against Mugabe and a bomb scare at Hannover airport. Clearly, I picked the wrong time to be off - it’s been quite a week for news! And student journalism is no exception. We’ve had a student
I don't know about you, but I have felt recently that (Blue Planet 2 aside) everyone in the world is slowly losing their minds. With further allegations of sexual assault and harassment swirling through Hollywood and Westminster; cabinet ministers giving false information about British citizens being held prisoner in Iran and handing in their resignations after
Remember, remember... when I used to send these on a Sunday, every week, without fail? Yeah, me neither. I've always found this time of year to be exhausting. What with Halloween, Bonfire Night, the clocks going back, and the mornings getting colder, its all I can do not to come home from work and immediately
