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.

Pitch/Rational for studying later in life profile feature

This feature will be based on the style of the glamorous celebrity interviews. It will combine with a set of photographs taken on a shoot co-directed by myself and student photographer Natalie Blight. These will be edited and work with the question and answer style article to paint a glamorous profile on Linda Blight, a 46 year old single mum studying for a degree. This article could also potentially fit with the 'Cosmo Inspires Real Life' profile features.
