The Gown Student Newspaper at Queen's University Belfast

Have you Seen McGreevy's Just started his first campaign of the year, he's put it on Facebook and Everything!:
"Gareth McGreevy's new year starts after May Day! PEC be prepared for a visit!"

discussion board - difficult to use, limited features and something that has been outdated for several years now due to the rise of social networking.

gallery - a basic feature in ANY website like this. it is ridiculous that it was not there from the start..... even the crappy old website had one.

sections added? more like tacked on as the union realises that the original website was missing soooo much. it just gets worse and worse with every little feature of the day they add on. so messy. who wrote the brief and signed it off - james murphy? more incompetence!

surely they could have got a compsci student to do it better and for free?

A forum, photos and you can change the colour!

Groundbreaking.

In all seriousness these awards always were and always will be a money generating exercise for the organisers.

Not to say the winners aren't doing good work, but the way the smedias are run is pure suspect to say the least.

Fair play to Gareth. There is now a discussion board, photo gallery as well as other sections added. You can also change the colour jd1991 if you maybe looked. lol

more like web-shite of the year, right?

it's awful. info is hard to find and the events calendar thingy is never up to date.

looks nice sure..... but style over content! seems like someone just vomited every web based idea on a pink background and thought that makes it good. lol

@ OAP
I don't think the website is completely controlled by Gareth. More like well done to the professional web design company that made the website.

Must've been sore writing up this one Gown team ;)

Also, is the website all completely controlled by VP Campaigns Communications? If so, well done! I'd wonder why any SU website would win an award though. Sure isn't it just a POI? In that case, I'm going to award my sock, just for being a sock.

Congratulations to Gareth McGreevy. I do have one small issue with this though. Is the website not, excluding some minor content changes, exactly the same as it was last year?

Would society publication of the year not be for a magazine or handbook produced by a student society such as the law society or English society? that's the diary we all get at the start of the year isn't it? Must go check out Union website!
