As part of the postgraduate journalism course I am studying at Cardiff University, I have been contributing to the online magazine Alt.Cardiff
The magazine hunts out Cardiff's best off-beat news and reviews under five different categories: Food, Music, Culture, Active and 'No Logo' - a political slant on the Welsh capital.
Over the past 11 weeks I have contibuted two articles to all of the above categories apart from Food where I contributed three.
Clicking on an article's header below will take to you the original story.
