Hi, my name is Abi Bremner, I graduated from the University of Lincoln in September 2011 with a first class honors degree in Media Production. I am currently living in Brisbane, Australia and wondered whether anyone from the School of Media has any contacts out here that they could put me in touch with.
I am currently looking for work experience and internships to develop my cv so that I can then begin applying for more senior roles and positions. Any feedback or advice would be greatly received as I really want to try and get sponsorship out here and in the long run apply for residency. Look forward to hearing from you, Abi Bremner

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
We have started a community TV channel, but with a difference. When the government decided not to award Lincolnshire a channel on Freeview, our thoughts turned to IPTV. Then we thought, why just IPTV – apart from ecommerce, websites are a bit old hat, so we went for a full social media presence.
We only began in earnest a few days ago, so please have a look, tell us what you think and please “like” us on Facebook!
