My name’s Alexandra Davies and I’ve just finished a postgraduate diploma at Cardiff University, studying Magazine Journalism. This blog was originally designed to address the world of internet journalism in its ever-changing and fast-moving glory and to consider different aspects of it that jumped out at me. Now, on top of that it’s a chance for me to put up work, articles and general thoughts for you to (hopefully) enjoy reading!
I’m originally from Croydon in the South East and went to university in Exeter. My work experience includes placements at Pregnancy and Birth, Mountain Bike Rider, The Daily Telegraph, The Croydon Advertiser, The Express and Echo and Men’s Health Online. I’m currently considering magazines from all angles and am available for freelance.
I’d be really interested to hear any thoughts you have on any of the issues I write about so please feel free to comment or drop me an email at adavies234@googlemail.com.

Hi Andy!
Our tutor sent that one round so I’m putting an application together over the next few days – sounds especially good that the job includes production and online as well as writing, fingers crossed! Thanks for letting me know.
Hope all’s well
