Fashion Writing: Journalism and Content Creation - Paperback
by Josephine Collins (Author), Spear Stephen (Author)
Fashion writing now enjoys its highest-ever profile as the digital world has multiplied the number of platforms on which it is available. No longer confined to restrictive print schedules or occasional broadcast slots, fashion is now an ever-present content driver. With retailers, brands and designers all in on the act, plus the emergence of citizen fashion coverage from the social media community, the volume of fashion journalism has risen beyond any predictions.
While bloggers monetise their musings - indeed, create successful and influential fashion media and fashion product businesses - traditional magazines and newspapers have expanded their multi-channel fashion content in order to secure more touch points with consumers and drive revenue from fashion advertising. Aimed at students on specialist fashion journalism courses or general/lifestyle journalism degrees, this guide will also appeal to untrained writers, including content creators, who want to add a professional approach to their fashion writing.Josephine Collins is the course leader for BA (Hons) Fashion Journalism and Content Creation and senior lecturer in print and online journalism. She has extensive experience as an editor and writer across business and consumer magazines, newspapers and online.
