LSMedia or Liverpool student media at liverpoolstudentmedia.com is a brand new website launched by the University of Liverpool's students to promote and support talented Liverpool student's creative written, visual or radio content.

Liverpool University is to hold a meeting on wednesday to decide the fate of its Politics & Communications, Philosophy and Statistics departments. LSMedia understand that all three departments are threatened with closure. Whilst complete closure of the departments wouldn’t take place for four years to allow current students to complete their course, scrapping the department could result in the early departure of staff resulting in a loss of choice in modules and reduced access to the best teaching staff.

Guild President Danielle Grufferty stated: “Under-investment for years and then it's taken out on students as usual! Papers on this went to Senate before students got a look in! We must demand a say!”. The proposals to close the departments are going ahead in spite of the recent 8.8% rise in the universitiy's overall funding.

The university senate is due to meet on Wednesday and the Guild is helping organise a protest against the closure, with those wishing to take part meeting at 1PM at the Guild Courtyard. A facebook group has also been created to keep students updated on the events and can be found at : http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=54685808820
