Podcast Interview

This is my finished podcast interview.

For my podcast I interviewed my mum who had an abortion herself when she was 17. Unfortunately as we live far away from each other she wasn't physically present for the podcast but I conducted the interview over the phone and I have transcribed everything she told me. 

The running order of my podcast is as follows: introduction, interview with my mum, and it concludes with my thoughts on the stance Scottish media has taken on abortion. 

The software I used for my podcast is the voice memos feature on my iPhone as it is most accessible for me and I edited it with iMovie. 

The duration of my podcast is 3 minutes and 58 seconds. 

The main points I covered in my podcast are my mum's stance on her abortion nearly two decades later, how she felt the media represented abortion at the time and currently, and her opinion on the pro-life vs pro-choice debate.

I have included example articles from multiple Scottish news sites that illustrate the representation of abortion, and I have added my criticisms and thoughts on this.

Background to my research topic - Pro Choice vs Pro Life

For my research topic, I chose the subject of abortion and the pro-choice vs pro-life debate in Scotland and how this is reflected in the Scottish media. I decided upon this topic as I believe there is a lot to research, learn and present and I find that the subject is interesting to learn about. I went into this topic with an unbiased view, aiming to research both sides and see if the Scottish media fits into a specific view. The purpose of my research was to look at both sides of the debate and their arguments for and against abortion, and how these points are expressed in Scottish media – is abortion presented in Scotland in a pro-choice, pro-life or unbiased view? I researched articles on multiple Scottish media sites (The Herald, The Daily Express and The Scottish Sun) to see how the topic of abortion is presented to the public and I go into detail on my research findings in my podcast and video. For my podcast I interviewed my mum who had an abortion when she was 17 years old, ...
