Media volunteer, Natalie Doyle, gives us the lowdown on the new Netflix favourite: ‘Tiger King’.  If you’ve not seen the show already, then you’ve definitely seen the memes. The global revolution. The man bringing us all together in isolation, Joe Exotic. Now, for those of you who haven’t seen the show yet, I’m going to make sure that I don’t spoil it for you, because it is a must watch. I will, however, focus in on some details that if you have seen the show will make you question everything you thought you knew. Self-described as a true crime documentary don’t…

Christopher Leroux, shares his thoughts and feelings regarding his year as the Media Section Chair. Dear Loughborough, Having been in isolation for the past few weeks, I have had a lot of time to think and reflect, and I would like to share some thoughts with the world, even if this does turn into rambling and becomes ridiculously long, I hope that everyone takes something from this.

Label’s Social Media Officer, Leah Langley, speaks about the the gruelling trials of Harvey Weinstein and how his sentencing has become an influential moment in time for the film industry.  When allegations of assault, from numerous female employees, over a nearly three-decade period hit the headlines on October 5th 2017, the world stood still for a minute.

Returning volunteer, Leah Langley, shares how she fell in love with literature and writing. For the majority of my childhood, I was always the kid in the corner with my nose in a book, and a notebook in my hand. I fell in love with the stories behind the words at a young age and my passion for the art of writing only grew as I did.
