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.

Men & Sex Feature

The section about Men & Sex is usually contains relationship or sex advice either given by men or about men, or is full of anecdotal features made for amusement.
Sometimes the features will be sex or relationship advice written by women for women, but the most appealing advice features are the ones given by men. They are done in such a way to portray a conversation between groups of friends which indirectly gives relationship advice to women. These real life men are discussing their own experiences or views in a comfortable environment which makes the advice seem natural and real.

The amusing features generally focus around funny confessions or stories that men have done either told by the men themselves or told by girlfriends/friends.

I plan to research and write a “Men’s holiday confessions” feature. This will be a single page spread feature with funny stories from real men or their female friends about mishaps on holidays.
