This Leeds student finds the Guardian an invaluable aid on his business and management degree
I'm a student at Leeds Metropolitan University on a business and management course. I'm in the middle of a year-long placement, which involves events management and social media. It was at university I started reading the Guardian, because we were told it was important to stay up to date with national trends and issues. Before, I generally got my information from news channels or from reading the Metro on the bus.
I stick with the Guardian because it covers a variety of topics. It's not all celebrity drivel with a bit of news chucked in for good measure, which seems to be the strategy of some other news outlets. The Guardian allows me to read intriguing stories about what is happening across the globe and it's a good source of knowledge for me. There are, of course, occasions when my opinions differ, but that's how society works. I follow the Guardian on Twitter, as I don't always have time to read the whole paper. I have the iPhone app as well. I'm never more than a few clicks away from reading.
What keeps me coming back is the fact that the paper is informative and occasionally amusing. Plus the reader comments at the end of each article keep me entertained for hours.
