From Sarah Barrow: The Lincoln School of Media is delighted to announce that Visiting Professor Nick Gray has just published ‘Escape from Tibet’, the book version of his acclaimed, award-winning documentary film of the same name. An astonishing true record of endurance and of the triumph of the human spirit, it is told as a real-life adventure story.
The book includes a foreword from H.H. the Dalai Lama and its cover is designed by our own Senior Lecturer Chris Hainstock. Press Release
From LSM Head Sarah Barrow:
“[This year’s] survey of the ‘Destination for Leavers from HE’ ends this Friday. We did extremely well last year with 96% of graduates who responded reporting as in employment and over 70% in graduate level employment (in top 3 of Media courses in UK).
Tom Ridgewell, AKA Tom Ska, has told us about this event planned for April 28th on campus. Imagine:
“Hundreds of happy-go-lucky potential students walking around the university of Lincoln all day, filming every second of it and distributing it to thousands more potential students each.”
The organising team could do with more help, particularly from Lincoln-based people.

Script editor Merle Nygate gave a guest lecture on 20 Feb and mentions LSM script students in her blog
Merle writes:
“Last week I had the pleasure of guest lecturing at Lincoln University. I was talking to second and a few third year students about TV: the industry and craft…….If I’m among a sparky bunch of students, as was the case in Lincoln, there’s an almost palpable buzz around them. And when I go home, I take some of that buzz away with me.”

“Within the post modern critical landscape, has observational still photography lost its potency or is it just too ambiguous and misunderstood?”
