NEWS DIGEST The idMedia News Digest, established back in 2004, is an e-newsletter originally produced by the Sydney University Journalists' Society (now a part of the Media and Communications Society).
The Digest is a non-aligned publication and welcomes contributions from across the political spectrum. Members are encouraged to contribute their ideas, insights and analysis of student, national and international news to these pages. Creative writing is also welcome - and it�s a great way to build up a portfolio.
In 2004 and 2005, the Digest had a strong readership, witnessed by our encouraging web statistics. And it's set to grow further in 2006. We need more informants and reporters, well positioned to in turn bring readers accurate news from across campus factional divides. This will be particularly important in the run up to Union Board elections.
E-mail all questions/expressions of interest to usydmedia@yahoo.com.au
Regards and thanks,
Aaron Rathmell, President.

Rose Jackson, President of the SRC, responds to the Engineer's anger over the running of the 6th June SRC meeting. She hopes to see some initiative from those who are so good at throwing insults at others, since insults will not achieve anything, expecting wasting the time and money of everyone.

Chris Koureas responds to Ben Raue's article on the SRC meeting of 6th June, arguing that Ben writes as if he was not paying attention to the proceedings and shows the true amateurishness of Ben's actions.

Sam Crosby, outgoing Union President, is a divisive figure, whose influence has reached beyond the Union Board to impact upon numerous facets of student political life. So as his term comes to an end, it seems fitting to explore his policies, politics and personality.

In the last days of the 2004/2005 Union Board, politics is getting heated, and Union Board meetings are getting interesting. Accusations of political point scoring, debatable as they may be, are doing the rounds, as Amit and Beck line up for leading the new Board.
