Research – MAJOR PROJECT

Thursday 6th November, 12.10pm.

03067701322 – Ministry of Defence Press Office (Army Base)

After a conversation with John Baron regarding my project, he asked me to get in touch with the MOD to see if there would be any issues with creating my online magazine, as there are a lot of things you can not include online as they are covered by the Official Secrets Act.

After a phone call with a lady at the MOD press office (army base), I have been told that there is an online magazine run by the Army Family Federation (www.armyandyou.co.uk) for Army wives, so I could use this as my research, and also I found out that I can continue with my project as long as I do not use any Military material, such as images and videos, and do not name any of the soldiers, otherwise I will be breaking the Official Secrets Act.

Brief – ONLINE MAGAZINE

Create an online magazine with the topic of Army wives, for people who are marrying into the Military and are to become Army wives in the future. Include recent news regarding the Armed Forces and the current conflicts in Iraq and Syria, as well as information and advice for the future Army wives, along with feature articles from current Army wives.
