Journalism Must Change

 Steven Kellow    Miscellaneous  

This is an English translation of the original post “Feumaidh Naidheachdas Atharrachadh” The profession I hope to go into when I leave university is that of journalism.  It’s a job that I’d enjoy a lot, and more than that: I think I’d be good at it.  But it’s an industry that’s rather old-fashioned in a world that seems as though it’s changing faster than ever before.  Even though I’m confident enough that journalism is going to be an industry that stands the test of time, — Read more →

Feumaidh Naidheachdas Atharrachadh

 Steven Kellow    Gàidhlig, Miscellaneous  

‘S e an cosnadh a tha mi an dòchas a-dol an sàs ann nuair a tha mi air an oilthigh fhagail a bhith nam luchd-naidheachd.  ‘S e obair a chòrdadh rium gu mòr ‘s a barrachd air a sin tha mi a’smaoineachadh gum bidh mi math air.  Ach ‘s e gnìomhachas caran seann-fhasanta a th’ann ann an saoghal a tha coltach gu bheil e tionndadh aig astar nas luaithe ‘s nas luaithe.  Ged a tha mi dearbhte gu leòr gum bidh naidheachdas gnìomh maireannach, feumaidh — Read more →

Songs of the Month: March 2014

 Steven Kellow    Music  

It’s been a rather good month for discovering and rediscovering music for me, thankfully, so I’ve got a few good tunes to share with you!  Cutting down the list to six or so songs was a challenge, but hopefully I’ve picked the best ones.  Hope you enjoy! CHVRCHES – “Do I Wanna Know?” CHVRCHES have an amazing ability with their covers to make a song, as good as it was before, even better with their own 80s inspired style.  This is an excellent retooling of — Read more →
