Below Here -Work from TV Journalism MA:
During my Journalism MA we did an ‘Online Journalism’ module -in groups of four we created a website and we each contributed 8 different types of articles to it. Our website was about Burlesque (I wanted it to be about Travel or Wildlife but we needed to pick something everyone was happy with hence I agreed to burlesque).
We created a group website but, since it is hard for you to find my contributions on it, and since it may be left to expire, I created the following separate website, with only my contributions to make it easier for you/clients to view them. you can see my 8 contributions by visiting the following website:

Even though the topic is not travel, the skills can be just as easily applied to creating varied travel-related content (which you can use on your website, or which can be printed in magazines, etc).

The 8 different types of content we needed were:
- An audio-visual interview.
- A video interview which we filmed and edited.
- Curation –I chose to do a YouTube Burlesque playlist.
- A guest blog / Community-driven content.
- A data story…
- An info-graphic / visual content.
- Text interviews (I did two).
- A LiveBlog (blogging live from an event –text, tweets, videos, photos, etc).

Please call or email me if you would like to discuss, get a quote, and/or see more samples of my work. I have mainly included writing samples from my recent Television Journalism MA above as a lot of the professional writing work I have done has been ghost-writing for clients and so I don’t want to publish their documents online. I can however send you documents relevant to what you need including travel articles.
I have also chosen to include documents from my TV Journalism MA, (as opposed to my Oxford University English MA), as some of you may require travel-related videos/documentaries, etc, which I will also write the shooting scripts and scripts for -consequently the TV Journalism documents are more relevant.
