Enrichment talk on Journalism

As part of LBC’s flourishing enrichment programme, we had the special pleasure this year of welcoming Mr Matt Blake in our Guest lecture series. Mr Blake works as a freelance journalist for Vice Magazine, The Independent on Sunday and The Guardian, among others. Mr Blake shared his incredible perspective on a career in journalism, writing, and the media, with a packed house of attentive students across all year groups. Regaling them with tales editorial meetings, writing in a conflict zone, and meeting deadlines and getting the story through at the same moment as a national internet outage, students were able to discuss and interrogate a whole range of topics with our special guest.
