BU Research Blog

With the polls open in the most exciting General Election in recent history, we invite you to follow events with our ‘live’ coverage online, on TV and Radio, as well as on Twitter and Facebook.We are streaming our TV coverage to the website and it will be broadcast around BU from 10pm tonight until 10am on May 8th. Radio coverage will also be ‘live’ on Hope FM from 10pm and we are covering all the Dorset counts alongside reporters and photographers from The Daily Echo. Meridian will be taking our TV reports.
We have a team at Westminster and our own focus group of student voters who were ‘undecided’ will be joining us, there is comedy from our own Comedy Coalition and we will have a constant flow of guests — pundits and politicians – in the studio with us on the night to bring us analysis and insights as the story unfolds.

This is an impressive cross-Faculty student-led collaborative project, involving students from journalism, animation, PR, politics, advertising, marketing, communication and English. We are also linking up with students engaged in a similar activity around the country, in conjunction with the Broadcast Journalism Training Council (BJTC).

Please be part of the story and follow us, comment and engage online and encourage your friends and family to join in too!http://www.yourelection15.co.uk/
