What we do

PhaseSpace is dedicated to the creation, development and maintenance of a new online citizen journalism venture, directed primarily towards the university community. We intend to enrich their university experience by encouraging students to engage with the broader academic community outside of their campus in course-related, career-oriented and social matters. By providing a public platform for users to express their ideas and opinions, we offer students an opportunity to build a profile visible to their fellow students, academics and potential employers. From our own experience as part of our target market, we believe that such a project is fully viable.

Our Values

Central to our values are the principles of freedom of speech, political and social empowerment, accountability, open communication and collaboration and civic engagement. We are a responsible and transparent company, who will readily interact with our user base and tailor and adapt our website in accordance with their feedback, facilitated by maintaining a physical presence near the location of our initial target markets.
