I intend to produce the first two pages of a local newspaper together with a poster for the newspaper and two hyperlinked pages from the paper’s website. The newspaper will be aimed at 18 to 30 year olds in Essex and will be a monthly newspaper. I intend to use this Blogger.com account to display my planning and research.
I will collect research by looking at existing newspapers and analysing their form and content. I will look closely at local newspapers as my newspaper will be a local paper for people living in Essex. In addition to this I will compare and contrast local newspapers with national newspapers to see the differences. I hope to scan these on to my blog and label different parts. I will also look at these newspaper’s websites and include print screens of their layouts. This will give me ideas of how to set out my newspaper’s website.
I intend to challenge the traditional conventions of a newspaper by making it perhaps smaller, more colourful and magazine- like in the hope that it will encourage more young people to read it, and therefore gain knowledge about what is going on in their local area. Young people may find the smaller format more practical to carry around in their bags and may find a more colourful layout more appealing.
