Decisions Decisions

Recently I have been thinking a lot about what I would like to do in the future. Originally I wanted to go into the field of fashion journalism but now I am not so sure. Even though I truly love clothes and can think of nothing better than to write about them I also think there are so many other interesting things to report on.
Our new module "Landmarks in Journalism" is one of the main reasons for this change of heart. Watergate and Thalidomide particularly interested me. The book "Tell me no lies" edited by John Pilger is also interesting in telling me a lot about "investigative journalism and its triumphs".
Watching the Louis Theroux documentaries has also made me think that I would love to do something along the same lines. I really admire him and think he is a great journalist.

Charming

I made a cute little bag charm the other day using old broken necklaces, beads and safety pins. I threaded each bead and chain onto the pins and then simply pinned it onto my bag.
It was really easy to do and instantly added individuality to my plain old topshop bag!

I like this quote...

"if I wanted to influence the way people thought, I should become a politician; if I wanted to tell them what was going on, I should be a journalist" (simpson 1997)
