I was looking forward to being the first to announce this news, but (as is only right and proper), I’ve been scooped by the students of the Lincoln School of Journalism.
The University of Lincoln is cementing its ties with the journalist John Pilger, through a project to develop a permanent, definitive public and scholarly digital archive of his work.
Building on material already available through the website JohnPilger.com (the site will be redesigned and relaunched as part of the project), the archive will grow over time into a permanent collection of John Pilger’s written, photographic and television journalism – an academic and journalistic resource of international importance.
You can listen to Prof. John Tulloch (head of the Lincoln School of Journalism) talking about the plans for the John Pilger Archive, over on the LSJ blog.
