engagement 3/4

General Questions:

-How does your audience influence what/how you write?

-Do you feel as though writing is valued within society? Do you feel as though your writing is a form of currency &/or contributes to society?

-How has technology changed the way you work and what or how you produce (your writing)?

-What skills are most valued in your profession? Are flexibility and adaptability emphasized in your work environment?

-How much liberty do you have in determining your subject and the style in which you write? Have you been able to maintain your preferred/unique style of writing and voice or has writing as an occupation shifted these things?

Research Question:

How does having a set audience and subject matter dictate and influence the diversity in writing and what is written at The Arrow? How does this unity of audience (and possibly among writers) contribute to the overall product?

Methods:

-Interviews- gain personal experiences through interviews and understand “behind the scenes”/inner workings. Limitation- what the person is willing to offer or knows/has experienced them self.

-Textual analysis- relate interviews and processes/experiences discussed to the final product by looking at what is written. Limitation- need interview to support to get a true, well-rounded picture
