- JMU JournalismJMU Journalism - As part of my final year studying International Journalism, I was a reporter for JMU Journalism. For the website, we had to find, research and write copy every week. I wrote several stories, including covering the launch of a hate crime awareness event, where I spoke with the High Sheriff and the Chief Constable, and a story about protests against US President Donald Trump. http://jmu-journalism.org.uk/author/danyaalyasin/
- Liverpool LifeLiverpool Life - A student-ran newspaper. For my final year studiying International Journalism, we had to write for and design a newspaper. Throughout the year, I worked one week writing for the paper and the next designing, which included using my Indesign skills to adhere to the paper style and developing my own style and skills with feature pages, which had a varying style depending on the article/designer. I wrote numerous articles, including a feautre on the black community of Liverpool for Black History Month. https://issuu.com/ljmujournalism
- US. - Graduate magazineUS. - A magazine created by myself as my final project of my BA (Hons) International Journalism degree. For this project, I came up with a concept of a all-inclusive magazine aimed at the 16-25 demographic, with stories including a write-up of the January 2017 Women's March, a piece on the youth of today and a story about drag queen's being censored on Facebook for using their stage names online. The magazine was also designed by myself, including the photos used, page layout and copy. I recieved a high 2:1 for my work (67%). https://issuu.com/us.8/docs/us._magazine
