Week 2 of culture jamming.
Jess and I are searching for news articles on the Gold Coast Hospital. We got pictures of the construction site of the new hospital.

Poor Ms Bligh. We found a great article which shows a happy Ms Bligh talking about the advantages of the new hospital. And she would be a great scapegoat to have in our little article. So many f*** ups what's one more?

The angle we are taking on the article: We were two journalist students who, for a news & politics assignment, decided to do a story on the new Gold Coast Hospital and the effect it was having on students and staff members. However, when researching we found gold. It wasn't really a public hospital it was a private.
The way we are going to get it out there: Through a blog we created specifically regarding this issue.
After discussing this further, Jess and I came across some issues. Since we have both studied subjects in journalism we thought it was unethical to create a story which had no real truth to it. How can we do such a task if we are required to make up an entire different story that could potentially ruin our future careers and other people's jobs? We voiced our concerns to our tutor and were satisfied with the what she told us.
So Hades, here we come
