Students will interview each other as part of a regional daily’s revamped entertainments guide.

The Argus, Brighton, is relaunching its On The Radar section in Friday supplement The Guide, to feature students from the British and Irish Modern Music Institute.

Students on the music journalism course at the institute, which has a campus in Brighton, will write for section, interviewing up-and-coming musicians also studying there.

Argus editor Mike Gilson, pictured above left, has welcomed the partnership.

He said: “Sussex and the city has had a long successful track record of inspiring young people to make great music, indeed all forms of art.

“We are one of the few regional newspapers to review thousands of events every year and The Guide on Friday is a must-read.

“We love to see young people with talent emerging from the local scene. That is why I’m delighted that we have partnered the wonderful BIMM to bring you a better than ever On The Radar.”

Martin Wright, principal of BIMM Brighton, added: “This will be a great opportunity for students to showcase their talent to a wider audience both as artists and music journalists.

“Our journalism students will be interviewing the bands and artists each week providing a little insight into them along with some exciting video performances, their upcoming gigs and releases.

“As our curriculum is very vocational, it is essential for us to continue to provide this first-hand experience for our students along with creating opportunities to get them working with each other as part of the microcosm of the music industry they create at BIMM.”
