Hello everyone
Hope you’re all having a great week.
Inspire
The astute among you might have noticed that we’ve stopped sending out the weekly Inspire email – we will still have devotional content on the website, especially articles that relate to being a Christian in the media but we didn’t want to inundate your inboxes so I’ll just flag it up articles in the weekly mailing rather than sending them as a separate email. If you would still like a weekly inspiring email, there are lots of great alternatives to Inspire out there but three that we’d particularly recommend are:
LICC Connecting With Culture or Word For The Week
London Gathering:
TheMediaNet are joining with HTB Media to host a screening of MediaNet and HTB member Luke Bradford’s award winning short film “Tomorrow” at HTB on Thursday 28 June. See here for more details
Brighton Gathering
The MediaNet Brighton gathering will take place on Friday 20th July at St Luke’s Prestonville from around 6-8pm.
Je Ne Regret Rien
MediaNet member Cherry Hamilton has written a great piece about learning from past mistakes. It was originally published on Christian Today and you can view it here
London Screening
The eight-time award-winning documentary, Nefarious: Merchant of Souls, will be holding its London premiere on Tuesday June 26, just weeks before the Olympic games begin. This screening along with an expert panel discussion is being held in an effort to build awareness about sex trafficking and to rally locals to help prevent the already growing industry from increasing during the Olympics.
For more information, check out their website and please email NefariousLondon@gmail.com with requests for any press passes or interviews.

As always there’s lots of new radio, TV and print jobs at Media UK and lots of BBC, Channel 4 and ITV jobs to apply for
If any of you would like to contribute to theMediaNet website – articles, interviews, upcoming events, film reviews, reflections on working as a Christian in your industry, (insert your much better idea here) then give me a shout. Likewise, know of any job vacancies we could circulate? Have you got any prayer requests or answers to prayer? Please do let me know.
Check out our Twitter, Facebook Page or drop me an email/ give me a call. Remember if you want a retweet, just mention @themedianet and we’ll let the rest of theMediaNet know what you’re up to.
Hope you have a cracking weekend
