Articles
Here you will find a selection of articles written since I started an MA in Cultural Journalism in the University of Westminster (London) in September 2007.
All the articles are either coursework pieces, articles included in my final project When art makes a difference – which explored the benefitial effects of the arts in ordinary people’s everyday life – or pieces I wrote for our student website London Out Loud, developed as part of an Online Journalism module.
Given the nature of my master’s degree, arts and culture have a prominent presence in this portfolio, although the articles produced for the website deal with a wider range of topics.
You can easily navigate through the articles using the list of links below:
