Writing for Different Publications

We have now finished writing the articles for the magazine, so we are now moving on to tour own writing skills. For this assignment, we had to rewrite one of our articles (either one pre-magazine, or one that has been written for the magazine) and change the writing style to that of an alternative publication. I have chosen to rewrite my article against the rise in university tuition fees. Because my writing style has been described as 'Guardian', I have rewritten the article for the 'Mirror' publication.

To do this, it must be a lot more informal, using colloquialisms and simple vocabulary. Furthermore, the article has to be more politically bias, against the Coalition as this publication is strictly Labour in its political views. The Newspaper is often out to show up and mock David Cameron, and I must take this into account when rewriting my article.

I have now written this article up. I found it very hard to get into the writing style at first, as it was the opposite to how I would prefer to write. However, once I had start writing it began to flow a lot more. One problem I suffered was making the article long enough; writing for the Daily Mirror, I had to cut out great chunks of my original article, as they would not be suitable for the article.
