How does representation in the media influence public opinion?
As a fairly experienced student journalist, I am very aware that the headline means everything. It tells the story often more than the body of the article itself, and has the instant power of swaying your opinion on a specific topic, especially in terms of influencers, TV and pop culture. After a simple search on google with just the words “Taylor and Travis” (no surnames, no specifics): 2,320,000 links are found, the majority of them articles all about Taylor Swift and Travi

The Quiet Luxury of Saying No
It cannot be denied that, despite all the fun and opportunities, the uni experience comes with an unspoken expectation to say yes to everything, from extracurriculars and society events to hosting a last-minute costume party for 20 friends of a friend. While saying yes can sometimes lead to great memories and experiences, it doesn’t always. Sometimes, protecting your peace matters more. We hate to admit it, but constant social plans and obligations can be overwhelming. Too

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2025: What Was the Secret?
The runway angels returned again this year with the iconic Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, but what’s the secret to the exquisite production? “Did it live up to the hype?” For me, the answer’s yes! Previously, Victoria’s Secret was attacked for its minimal diversity and constant use of petite supermodels, but this year, the show embraced an immensely diverse line up of angels, including different body types and a cultural diversity. The various performances, including Madison

Are we romanticising burnout?

How to stay fashionable at uni
Looking good means feeling good, but when you’re struggling with the stress of university life, that often doesn’t come as a top priority. When exams are looming or assignments are piling up, throwing on a pair of sweatpants can seem far more appealing than putting together a stylish outfit. However, fashion doesn’t have to seem so daunting or optional. We’ve all experienced the frustration of opening a closet full of clothes and still feeling like you have “nothing to wear”.

Review: The Life of a Showgirl by Taylor Swift
When Taylor Swift announced ‘ The Life of a Showgirl’ , I was fully expecting a return to pure glossy, upbeat pop. The title alone sounded like a full comeback to glittery anthems and Vegas energy, but after listening, it’s clear this album isn’t about the on-stage showgirl at all, but rather about the woman who steps offstage. This album feels like Taylor’s way of closing the curtain on one of the most defining eras of her career. The album opens with the lead single, ‘ The

The rise of remakes and sequels
In the last decade, the movie business has run out of ideas. More cinema experiences have been riddled with scoffs at repetitive storylines or groans at unwanted sequels ruining previously cherished classics. Just by looking at IMDbs worst movies of the 2020s, it isn't difficult to see that these types of movies are simply not satisfying viewers. New movies in treasured series such as Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park and Harry Potter featured some of the lowest ratings on this li
