The wheels come off

Now and again something comes along which is capable of entirely changing your perspective.

I, like many others, conceived of media studies as a course of study which was probably not all that challenging. But it seems there is such as thing as a course in motoring journalism, run by the appropriately-named University for the Creative Arts in Farnham.

Well there was; it seems it has now been chopped: http://t.co/VBYjxzn. Also the course in leisure journalism, which sounds even better.

All this makes media studies look like, well, something jolly impressive. But I’m not sure I’m going to take all this information at face value. It has the feel of something that has got left over from April 1.
