Evaluation

My submissions were pitched to the Lancashire Telegraph, Sheffield Green Un, Newport Advertiser and Evo Stik Northern Premier League website.

These publications were chosen, because they were all relevant to the interviews I conducted.

The pieces fitted the length for each publication, as I followed the length advised to me by the reporters and Editors I spoke to.

Each pieces content is very suitable, as each story is relevant to the local area of that publication, and as such will interest their readership.

For example my piece on Mark Atkins suited the Lancashire Telegraph, as he is an Ex Blackburn Rovers player, and is fondly remembered by Rovers fans who all read the paper.

The style guides of each publication were adhered to, as I spent my time reading them before submission to find out for example how they like quotes to be used.

My work meets the standards of the industry, as each piece, has been published and has passed tough Editorial scrutiny.

The process could have been improved if I’d spent more time reading the publications I pitched too and if they had briefed me on their requirements beforehand.

I also should of received a copy of the paper for each published story for submission purposes.
