The Media and Journalism Society attended NUSU’s Society Awards on Wednesday 10th May and were awarded runner up for Best New Society 2022/23!

The Society Awards were hosted by NUSU’s Activities Officer, Xuan Liu, and the awards for Best New Society was presented by Eloise McGeady, who is the Clubs & Societies Administrator. The winner of this award category was Swift Society.

The Media and Journalism Society was created in January and officially ratified by the Student’s Union in March. In its first year, the society has accumulated over 60 members and over 200 followers on Instagram.

The aim of the society is principally to form a community amongst MCH students. The following night after the Society Awards, the society held its summer ball at Yolo Townhouse, to celebrate the hard work of all MCH students this year.

As well as a summer ball, the society has hosted a committee-run pub quiz and a LinkedIn workshop, and has also created a channel for members to share their work with each other. There are lots of plans in the works for next year, which will be the society’s first full year.

There are six students who make up the committee:

President: Rhys James

Vice-President: Roseanna Leconte

Secretary: Grace Boyle

Treasurer: Jack Evans

Welfare Officer: Libby Griffiths

Social Secretary: Maisie Latcham
