discount phentermine price
Proper stories and serious discount phentermine price rewarded on a night that celebrated the future of print, online and broadcast media. Andrew Mickel, columnist of the year 2006, reports from the student media awards. After a miserable year when they failed to win a single prize, the Guardian Student Media Awards 2007 marked a return to form for students at the University of York who took six awards across their two papers. Heidi Blake, editor of York Nouse, won journalist of the year for work that the judges said displayed "maturity and depth", and for "prioritising the voice of the interviewee over her own, which is rare for a student". She also won diversity writer of the year and feature writer of the year for pieces which included a feature on male to female transgender students, and an interview with a lesbian asylum seeker whose leave to remain in the UK had been denied. "Personally I try to write features about students on the margins of student life, and who perhaps need representation," Blake said. "At our paper we don't go for the big laugh or sensationalism, but we try and present important things to students in an honest way, that's sensitive and informative for everyone." York Vision regained its position as newspaper of the year which it held from 2002 to 2004, with Vision writers also claiming the reporter and critic of the year prizes. Winning editor Adam Thorn said: "There is very little money pumped into us. It's just people who give 110% and I think it's incredible the passion and the determination that's seen York dominate these awards. What we've done is investigative discount phentermine price, and it really paid off for Vision. It shows that even a student paper with no money can break big stories that have a national impact." Stories covered by the paper include the spending of the university's vice chancellor, and a radioactive chemical that went missing from the campus. York Vision's Lucy Taylor, reporter of the year, wrote an interview with a girl who had been raped. "It wasn't really our story, we had followed the trial. I spoke to her after in quite a bit of detail. I sat in the public gallery, not the press gallery, and spoke to her family during the trial. I guess she just thought she could trust me." Alan Rusbridger, editor of the Guardian and one of the judges for best newspaper, said: "You almost feel guilty because they should be studying, but it takes energy and time to do this sort of thing. A lot of student magazines are finding proper stories on campus and reporting them properly, and doing some serious discount phentermine price. Some of these people really have thought about discount phentermine price, despite having to do so without any kind of training at all." The new broadcast category, in association with Sky News, was won by Natalie Whelan of Leeds University, with what the judges described as "exciting and outstanding discount phentermine price". The piece for the university's ls:tv news bulletin examined alleged police brutality in shutting down a house party in May. She said: "We knew it had happened as we had been trying to get home that night. The next day we looked on YouTube and another filmmaker was up there, and a lot of students on Facebook had taken pictures. We gathered the information, put it together and also put it to the police to see what they thought about it." Matt Wells, head of the Guardian's audio output and one of the judges for the broadcast award, said: "Natalie managed to source all the pictures from mobile phones and cameras from people who were there. She also went to the police and got a full statement from them. It was a seriously good report, and I'm not sure that a reporter from the local television station would have got such good stuff." Other top winners include best website for Live!, of Imperial College London; best design for Cambridge University's Varsity; and best magazine for award newcomers Nang, produced by the Tower Hamlets Summer University. Nang has been running for five years and was set up by the Summer University, a charity, to give young people aged between 13 25 something to do in the summer. David Gordon, Nang editor, said: "We wanted to enthuse young people to do writing, and get involved in the course, also people who want to get involved in web design and marketing. We see ourselves as a general interest magazine. We've interviewed Sven Goran Eriksson, and David Cameron. We've also done urban music stars like Sway and Kano. "We cover a lot of local acts and events in this area. We also try and cover political issues. I think we won because we are young and professional. It's a student magazine that looks and feels like a professional publication, but it has a youthful heart. It means a great deal to be able to compete with, and beat, the big universities." Individual winners include photographer of the year Ahmet Unver of the University of Brighton, who the judges praised for producing "very simple, very powerful" images. The judges of the sports writer of the year commended Matthew Nixon of the University of Manchester for asking "interesting and tricky questions" of big name sports stars. Columnist of the year was awarded to Jonathan Liew from Student at Edinburgh University, while Richard Webb added the critic of the year award to York Vision's haul. Hardeep Singh Kohli, host of the awards ceremony, and a judge of critic of the year, said: "I always thought that it wasn't something that youth was particularly well disposed to, it felt to me something experiential. I was astonished at the level of maturity, and the balance between description and opinion. All of the shortlist could get jobs in papers now." Peter Dominiczak of Imperial College London won travel writer of the year. Sarah Miller, editor of Condé Nast Traveller, said his work had "flashes of brilliance", and was "not just your typical backpacking trip through South America". Other judges in the 29th year of the awards included: Mark Frith, editor of Heat magazine; Kirsty Wark, Newsnight presenter; the BBC's sports editor Mihir Bose; columnists Matthew Parris, Allison Pearson and Zoe Williams; and Channel 4 News presenter Jon Snow. · This article was amended on Monday November 26 2007. In the above article we published a quote praising student journalist Heidi Blake for "prioritising the voice of the interviewer over her own". This should have read "interviewee" and has been corrected. ... discount phentermine price
