Task 1 - Research and Interview

Task 1 serves as start of the project where we go back, using primary and secondary research to become knowledgable but also refresh ourselves on everything to do with working within a Print-based Media Company. We also go over new topics such as employment contracts for instance.

This also acts as a means to show are interview with an industry professional and the results and evidence which come with it. Everything done within task 1 will act as a valuable tool within the project at a later date.

Task 1 contains -

• Research of a job role within the print based media industry
• Research of contracts, legal and ethical issues, professional bodies and working practices
• Comparison of news stories
• Cv and job applications
• Report on how news reporting has changed from 1954-2004

• Interview of an industry professional
