EastLondonLines Information

EastLondonLines is an independent news website produced by students and staff of Goldsmiths, University of London. It will be the virtual shadow of the new East London Line, connecting communities in virtual space, just as the new line connects them in physical space. For the first time the residents of Croydon can easily access the bars of Shoreditch, and a single Mum in Hackney can reasonably contemplate a job in Crystal Palace. Goldsmiths college lies in the centre of the line and students on our world-class journalism courses will be keeping you informed about your newly connected world. Their work will be guided by experienced journalists, and it is our hope that EastLondonLines will in time, provide not only a place to learn, but a place to earn, for young journalists entering a profession currently beset by problems. We promise to bring you real news, produced to the highest ethical standards, but we will also tell you about the people and the pleasures to be found along the line.
