As part of a three year evaluation of the project, the Media Trust will provide £5,000 per annum to support a Phd student, working in the area of local media. The student will work alongside an evaluation team from BOP, a consultancy which specialises in the cultural and creative industries, but will be based ICS in Leeds. ICS has considerable expertise in local media, citizen journalism and digital citizenship, and the student will be part of a growing PhD community.
We envisage the project starting in October 2012, but an earlier start date can be negotiated. If you’d like to know more about this opportunity, please contact Professor Kate Oakley on [log in to unmask].
