Exercises

Please answer each of the following questions in no more than 500 words each.

Write a profile of an artist, musician, or anyone in or aspiring to be in the arts and entertainment world. They can be professional or amateur, a friend or a stranger - just someone who is in some way involved with the arts.

Critique two A&E stories from the past year.
Please include links to both stories.

Journalism is becoming increasingly involved in the world of online social media. How do you think the Arts and Entertainment can best take advantage of this evolving medium?

One area in which A&E is looking to improve is in our reporting, most especially in our writers’ interviewing instinct. One example of this is in asking follow-up questions, meaning that our reporters are constantly looking for new avenues to get interesting information from during an interview. The fictional interview, which is in the Attached Files section above, includes several missed opportunities for follow-up questions. IMPORTANT: Please copy and paste the interview into the text box and leave an asterisk next to your follow-up questions!

In our "Second Take" series, A&E publishes opinionated pieces about entertainment news and happenings outside of UCLA. The series has covered topics ranging from sexism in Jennifer Lopez's music to an evaluation on Warner Brother's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" trailer. Please write a piece arguing your point of view on a trend or recent topic in the arts and entertainment world. Visit dailybruin.com and search "Second Take" for reference.

Getting to Know You / Fun Questions!

We want our writers to be eloquent but also well-versed in the Arts & Entertainment world.

List three A&E sites/blogs that you follow regularly and a short reason why:

List five of your favorite movies

List five of your favorite songs

List five of your favorite written works (novels, plays, essays etc.)

If you could write about one A&E event taking place on campus during some point throughout the year, what would it be and why? (One short paragraph)
