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.

Recap of my articles

To recap I will be writing a total of 7 articles for this 'Cosmo' section of the portfolio. They will be:
1.       Profile feature on Linda Blight: Studying later in life.
2.       Profile feature on Ryan Gingell: Transgenders
3.       Beauty feature on self-tanning
4.       Summer Music Reviews feature
5.       Fashion – Bikini feature
6.       Online Beauty – Waxing feature.
As previously mentioned, I will be including articles I have previously written to display my writing skills in other styles.

I have decided against doing a Men & Sex feature as I felt my current idea would not be strong enough. However if I can develop a stronger idea then I will include it. For now I will be working on these article ideas.
