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.

Transgender feature Amendments

After completing my first draft, and discussing the outcome with my tutor and peers I have decided to strengthen the article by including a few more facts and figures.
Facts, figures and extra quotes for the article.

Quote from David Henry, founder of Queer Youth Network:
"We aim to help bring out that voice, and if not create one so everybody can be heard and the world can begin accepting that these types of people do exist and they are not monsters, or freaks of nature. They are beautiful and should be accepted just as anyone else,” says David.
Quote from parent (Angela Brown):
“It’s fantastic to see The Queer Youth Network making a stand where other’s have brushed this issue under the carpet."

After researching transgenders online, there are a few facts I want to try and include into my article.
Facts:
·         estimated 5,000 recognised transgenders living in UK - could be more
·         high discrimination rates
·         little understanding about what being a transgender actually means
