Evaluation
The Writing for Purpose module has helped me to
discover a range of writing techniques and abilities that I can implement
within journalism.
Through uncovering and exploring a range of work, I
have enhanced my writing skills and capabilities, and developed a style of
writing of which to apply to the majority of my work.
I have also developed a progression of containing my
writing, and developing it through drafting work, and editing it through a
strict process, and using reverse pyramid as a template for adjustments.
I have also written scripts for specific purposes
within this module. One for that sports clubs work, which was a Video
Journalism piece of which I wrote to coincide with a video piece I intended to
do.
The second was a script for my client as a voiceover
for his video I had created.
Both of these scripts enabled me to write for a
specific purpose and be concise and precise with wording and accurate with
timings and use of language.
I had also conducted a transcribe of which I had
gained form an interview that I recorded and used to create a podcast. This
transcribe was very time consuming, but it also enhanced my writing and
journalistic capabilities, as it may be something that I am required to do
within the field. It is also good practise to do this, as it gives me a piece
of evidence to keep if I were to publish something that was said within the
interview, of which was contended.
I conducted a varied amount of sports writing of
which I have analysed and documented the process of, but I would also comment
that doing this has given my journalistic writing a clearer and guided edge
that has developed and has become consistent with use of language, grammar and
style.
The newsroom exercises that I have drafted and
re-worked for online purposes have also improved my writing skills
tremendously. I have also analysed this separately, and given clear indications
to the impact that tis has had on my overall experience.
This module combined with the works completed in
other modules has enhanced my writing skills and journalism practise immensely.
The creative side of my writing, alongside my practical and developing
journalism style had improved through continuing to assess the work I have done
and develop and improve it for specific purposes. The module overall has given
me a sense of encouragement to keep on reviewing, and engaging in many other
writing skills as a practise, to continue to develop on the progress I have
made thus far.
