It was a wonderful event and some great #journalism on show, testament of the hard work students and lecturers put in every year. We'll be seeing many of the students there last night driving our industry forward in years to come.

Our fantastic UEA journalism students have secured four nominations in the national BJTC awards.
And in top categories across the multimedia range. We’ve only been going four years, and one of the smallest courses up against all the big guns.

Bad news for some in the mojo world. Many mics need this cable to work with iPhones. Apple’s adapter is reliable when 3rd party ones aren’t.
I did some training last year and everything worked for one guy except the dodgy non-Apple white cable - so *nothing* worked.

For the frankly bewildering number of new followers, here’s the kind of thing I bang on about as part of my job.
Notice the rapidly flashing lights here? Look top left - they flash at 30 & 60 frames per second but not 25fps.
Using the right fps leads to better video. (Shutter speed comes into it…)
