Could be. That was when I was a Sussex person. One problem with all those different "media" courses is that they cover a huge swathe of activity. The Sussex "media" stuff was never vocational back then. (What was?) More recent courses are very different. On a slightly related tack, anyone wanting to look for courses in science communication should start at the ABSW web site. Thanks to the Wellcome Trust (where would we be without them?) the ABSW has assembled a directory of courses. This updates the old file that you will find on the Trust's own web site: http://absw.org.uk/courses.htm There are probably broken links. All updates, additions and so on welcome.

I looked at University of Sussex Web site and they seem to have lots of the sort of stuff I need. When I worked in the media we were very aware that some things just worked and others didn't - the "grammar" of film editing for example - but I'm not aware of any research that has been done on it. This research might have been done in the 60's I guess. Lesley ********************************************************************** 1.
