it should be a news feature 1000 words including 200 words case study either integrated into the copy or as a separate piece. alongside the piece i need to supply a research log detailing my online research, other research, interviews and interview notes. this needs to include an introduction of 500 words which lists and explains all my sources. • sources. what sources are there already in the story that i can follow up and use in my piece? who can i interview and how can i find these interviewees? which websites can i use? which databases? i will need to have both primary and secondary sources. i should provide detailed information which i will use in my research log, backed up with interview notes, print outs and other appropriate evidence of research carried out. case study. for my case study i can use friends (or make one up) as a starting point but i should also try to branch out and interview contacts whose names and numbers i have got from the web/other contacts etc. as part of my assessment for the research skills for journalists module, i''m expected to put together a 500 word research log. this log should list in detail all the research i have carried out for your feature and case study. as part of the assessment i am expected to put together a 500 word research log. this log should list in detail all the research i have carried out for my feature and case study. i can set out the log as a table, a list under headings or in full sentences under headings. the log must contain the following: a list of all people interviewed for my main feature with dates and times of interviews, an explanation of whether i interviewed them face to face, on the phone or via email, and contact phone numbers/email addresses for each interviewee. for example: 17.04.2006; 10.30am; jane brown, psychiatrist at london hospital; interviewed by phone. contact details: 020 8321 1234; email j.brown@hotmail.com notes from each interview must be attached to the log and clearly annotated with the date and time of interview, name of interviewee and interviewee’s contact details. interview notes are not included in the 500 word limit. details of the case study interview with details as above. a list of all websites visited and used for the feature, with web addresses for the home page and any other pages visited, and dates i looked at the pages. for example: accessed 18.04.2006; website of royal college of psychiatrists. home page http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/ ; press page http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/press/index.htm. Printouts of pages used should be attached to the research log. A list of all printed sources used, including books, newspapers, magazines, cuttings, press releases and advertisements. Books should be correctly referenced using the Harvard referencing system. Cuttings and pages should be sourced and dated in the list and attached to the research log. I want my feature to be about the coal fire powered station that will be in Kingsnorth. It should be against it, not openianated. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/mar/03/climatecamp this is where I got the idea from. I can use sources from this news article and ask them more and different questions. I can also talk about the campaign and more.
