Article Plan 

In order to write an article for my magazine I must have a general understanding of the structure of a conventional article. I also need to know what my article is going to be about. This plan below will allow me to easily transfer it so that it can become a flowing article for my double page spread. I have made it so that it fits my genre and relates to my cover star. I have aimed to give a full insight of the star and the language and techniques I have used will attract my target audience.

The Hook

‘A hook’ is a treatment for an article. It is a form of pitch that the journalist or writer uses to give to their editor before being given permission to write and publish the article. It gives the editor an idea of what the journalist writes like and the content that will be included, consisting of entertainment, information and their personal identity. Below is the hook that I have written to encourage the editor to give permission for my article.

Article – DRAFT

Using my planning and the hook, below I have included a draft of my final article. I have made sure to refer to my plan throughout , as well as kept it conventional to my Indie genre – aimed it at my target audience so they accept it as an overall article.

Voice Recording of Draft Article

Inserted below is a voice memo of my draft article. By recording myself reading the article aloud, it will allow me to pick up on any language that doesn’t sound quite right or things that need to be moved around or changed.
