Summary of My Magazine Contribution

For the magazine I have now written three articles; an article against the rise in university tuition fees, an article in favour of the rise in university tuition fees, and the interview with Mark Bramwell. Furthermore, I have also submitted a short story for the magazine. This was because we wanted to put some creative writing pieces in the magazine. When our editor contacted the department for any creative writing piece, they did not respond, and, coincidentally, I had written a short story for a piece of coursework for anther subject.

I had planned to write a fourth article for the magazine, an article on the war in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, I did not have to time to write this article before the deadline, due to working on the other articles, as well other work commitments, and so it has not been submitted.

I have tried to write my articles in a informal way, but still with a good range of complex vocabulary to fit the target audience the article is being aimed at. I have also tried to add a personal aspect to my articles as they are being written for a magazine for older teenagers, rather than for a newspaper publication. Moreover, with the personal aspect, I have added an aspect of whit to the articles to try to make the articles more entertaining for the reader.
