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/Rationale for Online waxing article

Pitch to Cosmopolitan web editor Ashley Womble regarding beauty feature – Perfect Wax
To be emailed to: ashley.womble@comopolitan.co.uk
Dear Ms Womble,
                I wondered if you would be interested in the following features about waxing for the Beauty section of your website.
I think this feature will be attractive due to the high volume of women, specifically your target audience wanting to wax for the summer.
It has a nice chatty style which matches the house style of your current layout. I am aware that this is a feature that will run regularly as it is a top summer theme; however, I feel my article would be perfect for your publication. I am a qualified beauty therapist with contacts all over the beauty industry and plenty of product knowledge of my own. This will help create a highly informative article and give your readers the best advice possible.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Emma Blight
