KEY THEMES: #JOURNALISM, #STORYTELLING, #MEDIA PRODUCTION, #PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

1. Choose a real, professionally produced ‘long media article’ – such as: a magazine, newspaper or on-line article. The article needs to be a minimum of 500 words long and needs to be supported by some images.
2. Think about how it is written ie the organisation of words into sentences and paragraphs.
3. Choose absolutely any topic that interests you
4. Write your own original article that follows the style and form of your chosen (professionally produced) article. It must be a minimum of 500 words.
5. Bring in both the professionally produced article (what is known as the ‘style model’) and your own original article (as a digital copy) to the very first Media Studies lesson that you attend.

Choose any article you like from magazine, newspaper, on-line etc. This is what we call a ‘style model’ it gives you a starting point for your own productions.
