Inside page

This is a picture of the inside page of my newspaper. I have added more stories and an advertisement since the last update o the blog.

I think that the photograph i used for the junk mail piece was good as it suits a newspaper style and clearly demonstrates and epitomizes the issue discussed in the article.

I also used photoshop in order to cut out the figures used in the banner at the top of the page. I photographed them normally and the using the pen tool i drew around the figures and coped them in. This prevents the white box appearing around the figure and gives a much more aesthetically pleasing newspaper. These figures are also good for drawing the reader quickly to the text next to them, this in turn directs them to pages further into the newspaper and allows them to ski straight to stories that they are interested in.

I have also included a weather description on the left hand side of the page as most local newspapers that i have looked at include some sort of weather report about the local area. I think that the format of an individual day forcast and then a prediction for the next four days is a good idea as it provides people with exact weather information, enabling them to plan their day around it. The four day one also provides a prediction that could then be refined each day, in each issue of the paper.

This is the inside page of my newspaper so far. i have now added all the stories and have decided that the box entitled story three is now going to become an advertisement.

I have also completed the weather table in the bottom right hand corner of the page. After looking at several other local newspapers, the weather information seems to be very important and is a useful guide for tourists as well as local people.

I think that my inside page has just the right amount of information on it as some others that i have looked at over load on the text a little and i think that this makes the stories a lot harder to separate from one another and read.

This is another story that I have written for the inside page of my newspaper. This story is another human interest story and is a good one for the inside page as it has a serious story in it and features a strong sense of victim within the community. I have found that many local newspapers like to feature a story about a victim within the community as it strengthens community spirit when people feel empathy for their neighbors.

Burgled 10 times

Local female resident Jenny Michaels’ house in North End was burgled last night for the tenth time in less than a month. It is the most recent in a succession of malicious burglaries carried out at Ms Michaels house on the Northern Rd.

The thieves have broken into her house using, windows, the back door, front door, conservatory windows and even the drainpipe.

Ms Michaels says that she believes a group linked to her ex husband is behind the spree of crimes, she claims that her recently divorced husband, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been the main implementer of the robberies due to soured relations between the pair.

Police have now arrested three suspects and are detaining them currently for further questioning.
