Mind map of initial ideas:
Galtang and ruge(1965):
Galtang and Ruge believed that different aspects of
an event increased the likelihood of it being selected
as news story by journalists. They considered the
following:
Negative Elements: A story that was ‘negative’ is
more likely to be seen as more important that ‘
positive’ ones.
Proximity: If the story is ‘close to home’ it will be
seen as more valuable in that area.
Recency: has it happened recently? Is it breaking
news?
Currency: is it familiar to readers? Have they heard
this story before?
Continuity: if it is continuing to happen, it is more
likely that it will be reported from different angles.

Alex:
Questions:
Do see your designs being over look or similar designs getting more praise?
yes' other straight woman and mens designs get taken more seriously at the start of there careers.
Do you see similar designs being released after your receiving more attention?
Yeah often designers release designs that dont do well for months but they get pick up by fast fashion brands and they blow up over night with little appreciation going the the original designer.
Is there a lack of appreciation for the queer influence?
Yes definitely, many people wear a design with looking or thing about where it originated and give credits to influence on social media.
Amelia:
Questions:
What have we seen recently become mainstream that was established in the queer community?
Resently I have seen many straight men adopt flannel shirt and singular earrings that originated in the 1980's
How does fashion impact the queer community?
Fashion allows queer people to connect and easily find other to feel safe around.
Does queer fashion becoming mainstream have an negative impact on the community?
It negatively impacts on the community because it means that there is a lack of security with seeing what once was a queer sign but now could lead to uncombable situations.
Ben:
Questions:
Do you think that your platform has an impact on the way the
community is seen?
Yeah I do, I think I am often an introduction to the queer for
straight people passed the "gay bestfriend"
Do you feel a pressure with your status as an influences?
I feel pressure to represent the community positively as the can be a stigma around drugs and irresponsible choices.
Has your platform allowed you to connect with other creators?
My new platform has allowed me to connected with people I
thought id never meet and collaborate and spreed potive
messages.

Justification of resources
Femestella:
I chose to use this as they focus on fashion this mean as they are realible sources as this is the area of journalism they focus on. The writer of the articles have to have experience in journalism, if it was an independent website with someone who doesn't have experience I wouldn't use it for my research as there could be risk that they are unreliable.
Elonedge:
The edge focus on current issues that are often over looked by other magazines. This was valiant to my research and the website was free and quick to access. As mentioned recently because they are a blogger website people have different opinions on the website and aren't restricted on what they want to write about especially with stories about the queer community being a taboo subject in the past.
The look us: Is a fashion website, that is easy to assess and allowed to acutely gather information quickly. Another reason I wanted to use this website is because it is free to use and is cost effective meaning it didn't cost me anything for my research.
Ben Storie:
A relevened personality in the media at the moment that has a unique point of view that not everyone gets. I choose him as a source for my research because he has experience in the queer community, meaning that I could gain an authentic opinion from someone who has experience in the community and he can relate to the target audience that my article will be aimed. He is also a young adult which is the same as my target audience.
Amelia Fox:
Amelia is able to proved me with acute information that I can rely on for my article. She also does history at University meaning that she is good at collecting research.
Questionnaire:
A questionnaire allowed me to quickly and cheaply gather lots of informations on there opinions. Another reason I used a questionnaire is because I could gain responses quickly by sending it on email. Another thing I could have done was post it on social media as my target audience use social media.
