Library resources for Journalism

Use Library Search to find:

• Books, magazines, DVDs and all other physical material held at the three UWE Bristol libraries

Journals and magazines (print and online)

These provide information on specialist topics and can contain more up to date information than books. Relevant titles for Journalism include Broadcast, British Journalism Review, Campaign, Digital Journalism, Media, Culture and Society, National Geographic, and Vogue.

Many journals and magazines are available online, but some are also (or only) in print in the Library. Library Search or library staff can assist with helping you locate the journals in each library or online.
