If you haven't heard of them before, do allow me to introduce them to you.
The InkSlingers is the official and oldest student-run newspaper of Taylor's University. Its first issue began in 2003 and editions are published once a month under the Taylor's School of Communication.
Basically, they are in charge of writing stuff about Taylor's like events, upcoming issues and etc.
How this Newsletter works is by Degree & Diploma Journalism final year students (depending on situation) come together and keep this paper alive. As University students, of course not every single student is as enthusiastic about extra curriculum. Thus, if you are a journalism student, you are pretty much compulsory to participate in this newsletter creation because it will be credited as an assessment.
I think is great that we have all these little activity to participate because this could really help exercise you writing and reporting skills. At the same time, preparing you for the working world.
Okay, I have to be honest and admit that not every batch of newsletter is great. Some are really bad. Then why am I promoting this? Because I feel that this batch of students handling the current InkSlingers have done some pretty good job with their past two issues. They do not just do it for the sake of doing, but they do it well!
The lecturer in charged is Mr Justin Victor. One amazing lecturer, he can be tough but his classes is darn interesting.
We have the current committees
Editor: Jason Lim
Sub-editor: Shalini Ravindran
