We have been made aware of a number of cases of misinformation and speculation in relation to the spread of Covid-19 at Oxford. A number of sites have, either...

Who else can say that they worked as a business executive for a real publishing company whilst completing their degree?!
Beirut - Around ‘Lunchtime.' I need an Internet Connection, a number I have to call is waiting in my inbox. The Armenian Taxi driver coughs violently. I'm indifferent, he's driven me way out of where I wanted to go, right into a dilapidated and run-down district that slides steeply down a hill...
I am sitting in downtown Beirut with some London-Lebanese. It's truly incredible to listen to the way people talk in this city. They'll begin a sentence in Arabic, throw in some French words and then finish up in English. "So Habibi, where have you been."
The bus out of Damascus is dirty. The windows are smeared and little children are sleeping along the floor. A Syrian petrol-pump mechanic is trying to practise his English. "Welcome. Now Leban-non.

Sunday Times editor John Witherow will be speaking to the Media Society tonight at the Oxford Union, 7pm.

Aldate isn't sure whether "He's back!!!!!1111one" is the best way to open a headline. Sure, it adds cheeky tabloid indignation to the whole affair. But to others it could easily be substituted with "90% of this copy will be rehashed arms dealer story". Still, Aldate is sure the donations thing is of interest to those with a conscience. Must be an OUSU thing.
A bit like running a pirate radio station for two years. PR tip: if you're doing something dodgy, don't use it as an argument on a blog primarily read by journos. Many DJs will be glad to hear that the journo in question is going into exile next year. Aldate, however, will still be here to aid the station in its leaps forward in professionalism, to use the party line.
Cherwell news was far too dominated by Wadham, but both papers came out with strong news sections. The beer-swigging examiner story isn't as strong as it looks, the clue lying in column 2:
