Member publications organise coverage of 2024 General Election
The general election may have come during the summer break, but many of our members have still been producing exciting, innovative and informative content.
As polling day approaches, here’s some of the election coverage highlights from student journalists across the UK for you to catch up on!
The Prime Minister’s surprise announcement of the election remains one of the most memorable moments of the campaign, and Wessex Scene writer Byron Lewis was in Westminster to witness it. This is a wittily written account of the day with a clear voice and point of view, which gives a good sense of what it was like to be amongst the crowds when the election was called.
This article provides a comprehensive and factual overview of the election campaign. Published on 20th June, it covers all the main events up to that point, including the election announcement, the first head-to-head debate, and the early controversies of the campaign. It also gives an overview of the parties’ main policy pledges.
Finally, Cherwell have conducted a survey of Oxford students on the election, covering topics including voting intentions, political trust and students’ attitudes towards Labour. Why not have a read and see how their views compare to your university?
If you’ve done some great coverage we’ve missed, or you report on election night, we will be posting a round up on our social media, so drop us an email at communications@spajournalism.com to let us know!
Regular round ups of the best student journalism will also be launching on our website and social media from September, so do keep us updated with what you’re working on.
