Women's Journeys Research - 3rd year journalism student
Hi all! I would love it if you could take a few moments to read and hopefully answer the questions presented below. I am a third-year journalism student creating my portfolio of work, in which I am focusing on women's journeys in British society. My target audience is primarily women of all ages and ethnicities, who may be interested in reading articles focusing on women's troubles/journeys, recommendations of literature and film which highlight women's issues and important historical women figures.
Questions:
1. How would you want to access this content: A. Print magazine B. Digital magazine or C. Social media e.g. ***.
2. Would you prefer: A. More articles discussing women's journeys. B. More articles recommending literature and films which reflect and resolve women's issues. Or C. More articles highlighting influential women figures?
3. How would you (if I were doing an article on your experiences) like to be portrayed to the audience? A. Strong independent, whose overcome hardships. B. Advocating for change. C. A victim of society.
If this receives responses, I will be following up with more questions. TIA for answering!

Hi! First of all, I want to say that your project sounds incredibly important and impactful. It’s amazing that you’re dedicating your portfolio to highlighting women’s journeys in British society stories like these deserve to be told, and I’m sure your work will resonate with many people.
To answer your questions:
1. I think a **digital magazine** would be the best option, as it’s more accessible and shareable. But I also see the value of social media in reaching a wider audience, especially for engagement and discussions.
2. Personally, I’d love to see **a mix of all three** because each plays a crucial role. But if I had to pick, I’d say more articles on **women’s journeys** real stories are powerful and can inspire change.
3. If I were featured, I’d want to be portrayed as **someone advocating for change** because while hardships exist, I think it’s empowering to focus on resilience and action.
Your work has the potential to uplift and educate so many people. Keep going, and don’t be afraid to put your unique perspective into your writing your voice matters! Excited to see where this takes you. Wishing you all the best! 💜✨
