Editorial
Happy New Year and welcome to the third issue of U Mag, brought to you by the trainee journalists on the City of Wolverhampton College's NCTJ course.
It's the same magazine but with a totally different outlook, packed with even MORE features, reviews and exclusive interviews…
Cover stars The Darkness talk touring, Def Leppard and what it's like to be the biggest band in the universe.
In our sports section Walsall FC's Jimmy Walker celebrates his testimonial year, and plugs his new book (wouldn't give us a free copy though).
We look back at the highs and lows of 2003 and look ahead to see what the future holds for young people in Iraq (post-Saddam).
If your brains are still fried from all that Christmas TV, arts correspondent Emily is here with her cultural cures, plus we take a look at the future of Playstation with our gaming guru Olly. And if you're fed up with the promotion of fashion in other magazines, we've taken a different angle.
Yes, we bring you all this, plus the best reviews, advice, opinions and much more…. so read on and enjoy…
Lynn and Emer
