Project Brief

Welcome to my blogbook for my Negotiated Portfolio; the final module of my Ba(Hons) Journalism degree.

Please make sure you head right back to the oldest posts in order to see all of my thought processes and research, or if you prefer, click the tags relevant to the articles within the portfolio which can be found to the right hand side of the blog.

Many Thanks,

Project Brief

In this unit you will be required to produce an 8,000-word (or equivalent) portfolio of journalistic work that is targeted at existing publications and online media outlets, together with a log book or blog that documents your research and decision making process and a critique of your work.

Using the core journalistic skills already accrued on the course you will be expected to produce a number of pieces that demonstrate an appreciation of both audience and style. With the support of a tutor and through peer group work you will initiate ideas and develop a portfolio of marketable stories.

Your portfolio must include an appreciation of online journalism and include at least one item that is written/designed for the web. You may, if you choose to, submit a new magazine concept for part or all of this assignment.

Is That Karma? Research

Wiltshire council taking away Karma Nightclub's licence.

Karma have previously been warned to control drunken customers behaviour.

Owner Mike Rosser and Manager Jack Frost believe they have improved and will be appealing.

Mike Rosser Quote
Just to confirm, we are still open as usual. We have not been closed; we are going to Court to get this sorted once and for all.”

Mike Smith Quote

“I go to Karma whenever I am on a night out in Chippenham. It’s the best nightlife the town has. There are plenty of other places in Chippenham that have cheap drinks and people will get drunk there before heading to Karma.”
“Those places aren’t getting in trouble. I think the council will find that even with Karma shut, people will still get drunk and cause problems. They can’t close down every bar in Chippenham."
