For the production part of the course, next term we have to make a magazine from scratch and knock out three issues. Real practical stuff. Good.But… The mags have to be targetted at readerships within EU Funding Objective 1 areas of Wales - pretty much anywhere but Cardiff. I’ve nothing against the restriction - on the contrary, I think on the whole it’s a good thing if it helps us understand the process of targetting a publication at a very tightly defined readership better.
I’m not too sure about the reasons for implementing it, though. Namely, that when students could make magazines about more or less anything they liked, one was stripped of an award after it was discovered that something in one of them was plagiarised. It just strikes me as a bit heavy-handed. I would’ve just had the student in question stripped of their diploma.
