Discourse

I think this is worth looking at and it was founded and implemented by a student on our programme:

Discourse is a Newcastle based project which aims to create more discussion on social topics through the lens of academia by interviewing lecturers in relevant fields. Articles range from feminist lecturers giving their thoughts on the current state of feminism and the gender pay gap to the ethics and politics of pornography. An article currently being produced features an interview with Newcastle Sociologist Elaine Campbell on the discussion of prisoner voting rights as it is currently being debated in the media. Not only does this create more discussion between academics, students and the general public but also gives good experience which can be invaluable for future employment purposes.

I have added a tab to it (above), but you can go directly do it by just clicking here. I know the organiser is looking for interested parties to carry it on next year, and you ought to contact the journal if you are interested.
