Tuesday 30th

When i got to class on tuesday, Alex had more feedback from Jenny, which said my article had usefull information but there wasn't really enough room for it in the paper. Pete decided that David Gauntlett and Simon Panrucker's work were both very valuble revision tools and asked me to try and come up with a new way of getting their work into the paper. the final deadline for content was today at 4:10 so i didn't have much time at all to think of anything. how ever, fairly quickly i came up with a 'TopTrumps' style charecter profile, i suggested to Pete that i made one for both David and Simon and perhaps a few other practioners and he thought it was a brilliant idea.

I decided the front and back pages didn't need charecter profiles, and neither did the center double page spread, so i made 8 of them, one to go at the top of each page.

i made them like this:

Name: So people know who they are researching
Job: So they know what area they are going to be usefull to learn about
Location: So they know what kind of background they work from
MediaMe Power: Why we think they are of such a high value to the media industry
URL: To enable people to find their work and more info on them
Twitter Feed: Because Twitter is a ground braking revolution to the media industry and just by the fact most people have a feed gives students somthing to write about. also people like David Gauntlett and Julien Mcdougal give a lot of usefull information over their feed, things like links etc.

I actually think doing these will be of much more use to students instead of my article. When we got feedback from other students, most of them said that shorter, more to the point information would be more usefull, also i my self see big chunks of text and avoid reading them at all costs because i don't learn from just reading somthing.

Dispite wasting my time writing my article multiple times etc, i'm glad things have worked out this was and wish i had thought of the idea in the first place.
