Try It or Do It Awards

If you have an idea for a project which you would like to discuss further please get in touch with me at lbaillie@lincoln.ac.uk.

A runner position has just arisen at my company, Red Bee Media, that would probably suit recent School of Media graduates. It’s a runner’s job in the post production department that provides all manner of services for Channel 4. It should be a good ‘foot in the door’ here at Red Bee Media.

The deadline is rather tight (17th March), and details are here: http://www.redbeemedia.com/careers
