   "Write freely and as rapidly as possible and throw the

 

    whole thing on paper. Never correct or rewrite until

 

    the whole thing is down. Rewrite in process is usually

 

    found to be an excuse for not going on."

You will need to hand in three things to the Media School office on Wednesday May 27th before 3pm.

1. A confessional type interview of exactly 1500 words. Pictures are not required but if you have pictures or video or sound please let Chris Horrie have these because we plan to produce an online magazine using this material.

2. A list of ten viable story ideas for a range of magazines and newspapers specifying which particular generic type or feature will be used. You can specify any publicaton you like and as many or as few generic types as you like. The total length should be 1000 words - which means just about one paragraph per idea. So you need to be brief.

3. A 'critical analysis' of any particular magazine. This should identify the target market for the publication, the use (or lack of use or hybrid use) of generic feature types and an analysis of its likely commercial strategy (cover price, means of distribution and advertising). You may in addition wish to look at any related website operated and provided by the magazine.

Please feel free to raise questions about any of these topics at the remaining teaching sessions for this module. They are however pretty straightforward. We will in addition during the taught sessions be working on the online line magazines (for example New Nova and The Shed). There is no credit as such for this but we do intend to enter these magazines for industry awards.

Fantastic talk by a young John Searle on he history of the philosophy of language from Bertrand Russell onwards - taking in the 20th century concern with the link between language and thought exhibited at the popular level by George Orwell - 'Newspeak' and '1984'. We will look at this systematically in the year two modules History and Context of Journalism in year two (next year). But this would be good if you are doing dissertations based around biased language in the news, in advertising and generally the link between speech (and 'speech acts') and language. As Searle asks brilliantly - would anybody fall in love if they had not first read about it?
