Hi Mostafa
Please feel free to contact me to ask journalism-related questions and I
will do my best to answer them. In brief, I have just begun a BA Honours in
Journalism at the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland. I am doing this
part-time for health reasons. So far, I love it and, to keep this on topic,
my handset with Talks goes everywhere with me. (smile).
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Jackie:
That's we all wish all the time.
It's a matter of attitude.
Note:
"Can I contact you in person, regarding the journalism you work for.
I' am willing to study in the UK, and the media is among the fields that I
may choose from, if that's ok, please contact me individually"
Dear list members and moderators:
Please excuse me for this off topic post Best Wishs.
It's always hope that gives meaning to life.
