Oxford's Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism has just released its list of twice-weekly seminars for Trinity term, and they look very much worth going to. With speakers including Director-General of the BBC Mark Thompson, Transport Secretary Lord Adonis and Sky News Political Editor Adam Boulton and topics ranging from the UK elections to Iran, RISJ has once again assembled a stellar line-up.
