Digital News Production (Planning 19)

  I have looked online to see if I could get amy more information on farming in Kent as well as vegetable box schemes. I have found a website 'Why Farming Matters in Kent' (wfminkent.co.uk) which is a project set up to raise awareness of the importance of the farming industry in Kent. This website has vast amounts of information that we can use in our news piece such as what vegetable box schemes are, statistics on the agriculture in Kent, basically all the information we need. Their website had lots of information on farming in Kent, but I have emailed them to see what other information they have that might not be available on their website. Email is bellow.

Hello, my name is Charlie Ansell and I am a student at UCA Rochester. 

I am Currently studying a News Production Unit where we have to produce a news piece suitable for television broadcast. I am very interested in producing a news piece based on the importance of farming in Kent, as well as reporting on misconceptions people may have about farming, horticulture and agriculture.

The information I have looked at on your website has given me a lot of help with planning my piece, so thank you very much for that. I have strong feelings towards your cause due to the overlooked importance of farming in general and I hope my work will raise awareness to your cause.

If there is any other information that is not available on your website about your project, It would be a great help to me if you could send me it please, as long as it is of no trouble of course.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely
Charlie Ansell
