dave came in again today and went through with us the basics on making a good magazine. he spoke to us about the content. he said to consider 3 questions when writing an article for a magazine.
•Do people want to read it?
•Is it useful and up-to-date?
•What can you give to the reader that they couldn’t find/research anywhere else?
He also gave us information about how to go about things. such as researching for the articles and how we should write them and such. he gave us a list of 4 things that we should think about.
1.Research - wikipedia/google, pete (chief examiner), finding experts, fresh information, other articles, cross-reference, don’t be sloppy.
2.Angle.
3.Tone - News is the opposite to opinion piece (‘I’), features (history of/how to), interview, advertorial.
4.Present - ‘Box Out’ (pete interview, with picture and box of bio?)
These are all useful pieces of information that will help us in going out making the newspaper in a professional way and help us with ideas and the order of work there is to do.
i found this helpful because it always sounds better coming from somebody else, even if i was thinking it to begin with. dave also explained to me about te tone of the paper. because the biggest problem i was having was how to write it.
