Commentary

In order to write my article, I had to conduct background research into a topic which was of interest to me, I chose to focus on the current economic situation in the U.K, I first decided to look at the current economic climate in the U.K and get official figures on how much the U.K and get official figures on how much the U.K had been affected by the recession.
This was very important as it was key my article contained factual information and contained some relevance to my story, it was a;so very important that I could reference back to my sources.
I also looked at other internet articles relating to my story and examined their approach to the story, within these articles I examined the angle taken and this helped me in my approach to the story, I compared the presentation of the story by different newspaper and this was helpful in helping me decide my target audience and how my story was going to be presented.
I approached the story on recession with the angle of how it affected property prices as well as food prices in relation to the previous economic climate.
I also included original quotes from people which I interviewed and included their quotes in the articles, I also used quotes from professional to gain a balanced perspective within my article.
My final article was targeted at a working class audience as well as a middle class audience and much of the information within the article was in relation to my target audience, my choice of language is also reflected in my article.
