RESEARCH - INJUNCTIONS

AN INJUNCTION is a court order telling an individual that they are not permitted to do certain acts. This is usually in the case of a break up, in which one party harasses, threatens or assaults the other.

These most common injunctions are called 'Domestic Violence Injunctions' and work in a similar way to a restraining order.

Another well known form of injunction is one in which there is prevention of publishing material about a person. These are usually taken out by celebrities (e.g Ryan Giggs) who do not want unsavoury details of their past aired in the media. These are also called 'Gag Orders'.

There are also injunctions against individuals leaving the country, selling their assets, stopping an opponent from removing your child either from your care or out of the country etc.

RESEARCH - LIBEL

A LIBEL is a false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation published in the media.

Closely related to defamation, character assassination, misrepresentation, scandal-mongering, slander, false insinuation and rumour.

POLITICAL ARTICLE INSPIRATION

I compiled a list of different articles written by arguably some of the best political journalists in the world in order to see both how they write and what they write about to make them so successful. My research has led to the conclusion that every article is about a hot topic, making the political jargon relatable to the public and informing them in an engaging way about some of the drier subjects.

Job Advert - INVESTIGATIONS EDITOR

One of the tasks we were given was creating a job advertisement for another role, and since I have researched Investigations Editor previously, I decided to continue in this strength.

For this task I researched the key requirements for Investigations Editor. This includes qualifications, hours and so on. However, many of the advertisements I saw did not include working hours or wage, as this is most commonly negotiated upon acceptance of the job. With the information I gathered, I was then able to compile an example job advertisement.

I used Adobe InDesign to create the advertisement. I wanted it to look simple and professional, and then altered the basic aesthetics in order to make it eye-catching and interesting, making sure that the key information was what the eye was drawn to first.
