*Note: equine journalism, like all forms of journalism, can be observed via print, online, social media, podcast, live broadcasting, etc. but for the sake of this specific assignment I will be observing print equine journalism.
Subjects & Points of Significance:
Broad Subject: non fictional, Equine Journalism (magazine edition)
Narrowed Subject: an informative print form of communication made by equestrians for equestrians
Subject: Points of Significance:
| Training methods for students | Inform the reader on certain exercises they can do on their own to improve their riding experience, ability, and posture (most accepted but never really followed through with) |
| Training methods for horses | Tips for trainers and riders on how to train/guide their horse on a new exercise, discipline, ground manners, etc. (but isn’t accepted or followed by all) |
| Interviews with professional trainers/riders | Provide advice for aspiring riders, give opinion about the horse community, share inspiring stories about themselves (how is one considered a “professional?”) (does each professional have their own fan base?) |
| Horse care tips | Tips on how to read your horse’s body language, how to care for certain cuts/fungus/soreness/behavior, how to maintain horse supplies during seasons like winter, spring, summer (water freezing in winter or certain weeds/flies in the spring) (vastly accepted since there are several treatments for issues of any sort – “you do you,” until it doesn’t work) |
Rewriting subject POS / as question or prompt:
An informative print form of communication made by equestrians for equestrians that help but can cause slight controversy in the horse community.
What are the different points of view when reading equine journalism? Do all articles serve their purpose?
