With two people having dropped out of the race to be Media officer, we thought we’d take a look at the remaining two candidates. TV production student, Dean Barker, was first up (interview by Ben Hobson).

Last week saw two candidates drop out of the race for Media officer. Steven Cookson and Mark Roles have withdrawn leaving Dean Barker and Andy Squire to battle it out. It’s not clear whether any Cookson/Roles followers will switch allegiance to other candidates.
Both candidates withdrew citing personal reasons and the build up of course commitments that would limit their campaigning ability.
This is the first time the role has been contested (it was previously Communications officer) since the 2005 election with Mark Hudson beating one other candidate.
Note: Apologies for the lack of updates, been away at NUS Annual Conference. All candidate interviews will be posted up over the week beginning April 7.
