The follow up post

So if you stay tuned for the follow up this’ll explain my earlier post. For those of you who collect Blog-tastic Josh (the comic and blog, joking about the comic thing) we’ve been doing a lot about community media, specifically the local paper the Horncaslte target, due to some insensitive person shaking their dandruff outside our lecture got cancelled so we had to write a news report on Lincoln MP Karl McCartney’s surgery..which was cancelled.

So here’s the breakdown of how I think my report fits in with the Horncastle’s writing style:

1. I’ve used language which is suitable for 12 years and above (a common convention in papers)
2. I’ve copied the quoting style by leading it in by using ‘said:’, this can be seen for the quote from the student president.
3. In terms of length I’ve tried to roughly replicate the length of a common piece in the paper and keeping it between the word length of 150 to 200 words.
4. Despite me not being able to obtain any information from Mr McCartney’s P/R outlets at the time of writing I’ve tried to keep it the language unbiased, especially when I quoted the student president and tried to present a fair report of the event despite a difficult change with it being cancelled.
5. Also to keep to the piece Horncastle conventional I’ve tried to use short paragraphs keep one subject per paragraph and a maximum length of three sentences.
