You will gather information for an article for the Henley Standard and for the
NME on the state of the live music scene in the area.
You must gather information using both primary and secondary research
techniques.
Research the writing styles used by each publication. The language used,
word counts, audience expectations. Contact them and ask if they produce
a style guide for journalists and if they would be interested in looking at your
finished piece. Upload any replies.
Write up this information and upload it to Unit 50, LO1 on your Weebly site
Explain how and where you would store this data (electronic or hard copy
and why). Would you use a USB? Would you back-up the information on
cloud storage such as Google drive. Could you keep the information
confidential? Could you easily share it with the newspaper/magazine?
Upload your report to LO2.
LO3: Be able to produce copy in different styles for different audiences,
publications and formats.
Write your articles for the Henley Standard and for the NME using language
appropriate for each publication. Make sure you use your understanding of
target audience and writing styles.
Upload both articles to LO3
You will need to analyse the legal issues and standard that surround
journalism. How do these prevent journalists from causing harm or acting
irresponsibly but also how do they make it difficult for journalists to do their
jobs effectively? Do readers believe the press unconditionally? Or do they
understand that different organisations, such as The Daily Mail/mailonline
have their own agendas? Do different communities read stories in the same
way? For example, do minorities read press reports of incidents such as police
arrests in the same way that a older, white, middle-class reader would?
Make sure you use a range of real-life examples and test-cases throughout.
The Guardian website is an excellent source
https://www.theguardian.com/uk/media as is Press Gazette. Use information
from IPSO: https://www.ipso.co.uk/ to help you do this.
1. You need to cover representation, using examples.
Are minority groups represented fairly by the press? Gender, sexuality, BME?
Are audiences, such as minorities, catered for equally by the press?
2. Is writing style important for understanding?
