After perusing our magnificent pitches I decided to focus in on a few pitches on which to comment. The first I looked at was "Focused Fencing". First off, I think this is a pretty cool niche idea, I didn't realize that there was even competition in the world of fencing journalism but I think it's great that this pitch recognizes the competition. One thing I was wonder was if this magazine would cover high school level fencing? Another thing I was wondering: I get a lot of ski magazines as an avid skier and a lot of them a full of techniques and gear. Would focused Fencing just focus on the tournaments and players or would it go into technique for beginners and experienced fencers and go into detail on new gear in the sport? Just something I was wondering and something you may want to consider!
I also looked at the pitch for The Source. I loved this idea! As an avid pinterest user I can definitely see how this idea would work for news. Just a saved click and you can access all your news easily. I really liked how this pitch used ideas that are similar to almost everyone (e.g. Facebook, Reddit, Pulse, etc.) to show how we can learn from these sites and use them to enhance journalism as we know it. I also liked how this pitch showed the flaws in these sites and explained how The Source would solve those problems. I think by laying out explanations of the sources first then going into a critique about those sources really strengthened the pitch, good job!
