For my JOUR1112 assignment I had to pitch three different stories: a human interest story, a information story, and a news story. I thought I would share them on my blog.
HUMAN INTEREST STORY
For
my human interest story I am doing a feature article on The Queensland Ballet. At the end of 2012 Artist Director François
Klaus is leaving The Queensland Ballet.
On the 24th of February, The Queensland Ballet announced that
Li Cunxin will be the new Artist Director.
In my article I will be focusing on the uncertainty surrounding what
changes will be made to the company with Li Cunxin stepping in as Artist
Director. My targeted audience is
Brisbane residents, and other Queensland Ballet followers who have an interest
in the Company.
WHO:
The Queensland Ballet
WHAT:
Li Cunxin as new Artist Director
WHERE:
Brisbane
WHEN:
The end of 2012
WHY:
François Klaus is leaving The Queensland Ballet and Li Cunxin is taking his
place.
HOW:
The Board at The Queensland Ballet decided that it was time for a new Artist
Director.
With
winter soon approaching, I feel like it is appropriate to do my information
story on Influenza. I am going to
provide statistics and data about the illness, and information on ways to avoid
the flu this winter, including facts about the vaccination. This story is relevant for all readers, as
many people are affected by the flu throughout the year.
WHO:
Residents throughout Australia
WHAT:
Information people need to know about Influenza and ways to avoid it.
WHERE:
Throughout Australia
WHEN:
Winter
WHY:
The flu is a virus which spreads easily from person to person; therefore many
people are affected every year.
HOW:
People are affected through infected droplets in the air and by hands carrying
the virus.
NEWS STORY
For
my news story I am doing an article about young voters who voted in the recent
State election. I will find out who
influenced their decisions, if they made informed votes, or if they simply
voted for ‘whomever’. I am going to
speak to an expert in politics and ask if they believe there should be more
emphasis placed on the importance of young voters making more informed votes. This story is will be relevant for all readers
as it is a very common topic that is currently receiving a lot of media
attention.
WHO:
Voters aged 18-21
WHAT:
Are they making informed votes?
WHERE:
Brisbane
WHEN:
During all elections
WHY:
To raise the importance of voting, and making informed choices.
HOW:
By having more understandable and simple information about politics and
political parties.
