Welcome to the Farrago Online blog!
Hello hello,
the title says it all really - welcome to the home of the Farrago Online blog. Every month thefoolhardy masochists hardworking media-junkies of Farrago commission and bring together a diverse range of writings and artistic works produced by you, the students of the University of Melbourne.
After much fretting, considerable fussing, some fighting, and no little frivolity, the latest edition of Farrago appears all over campus. The editors and contributors finally get to see their handiwork distributed around the University, but there isn't too much time for basking in the warm glow of a job well done - almost immediately work begins anew on the next edition, and so the Circle of Farrago continues.
In this monthly student media dance a diverse range of campus viewpoints find expression, lovingly coaxed along and nurtured by the Farrago editorial team. Interviews, cartoons, feature articles, photographs, illustrations and letters pack the pages of Melbourne University's 80-year-old student newspaper. So with all this going on, why has Farrago decided to set up this blog?
Well, the main reason is so that there is a space for Farrago and media-related conversations to take place outside of the monthly rhythm of the print edition of Farrago. This blog is a great place for the Farrago editorial team to meet and chat to the rest of the University on a more regular basis about the issues that we care about - everything from Hezbollah to baby corn and a great deal in between.
Many of the topics our contributors tackle are bound to get you thinking, and the Farrago Online blog gives you a chance to chat to the newspaper's editorial team and the rest of the student body about these thought-provoking issues whenever you want. You just need Internet access and a willingness to put your opinions out there.
Anyway, welcome to the Farrago Online blog. Take a look around and let us know what you think,
Cheers,
The Farrago Editorial team

This is a shameless plug. If there are any classical liberals/libertarians on this site please get in touch with me. I'm looking for another contributor to my group blog.
Hurray for you all, great training for the overworked media rooms of the future too. Susan Wyndham of the SMH doesn't write for the paper any more I don't think, she just blogs all day. Go see, here.
Have fun.
I just found Genevieve's comment and have to correct her. I am still a full-time journalist on The Sydney Morning Herald and fit my blogging into my own time. It's an unpaid extra, which is why it's a bit sporadic. Call me crazy but, as you might or might not agree by now, it can be fun.
