Masthead- The masthead is the title block or logo that is shown at the top of the front page which allows the newspaper to be recognised by the reader. Sometimes there is an emblem or motto shown with the masthead (The Times) or the masthead is embedded into a box. For example ‘The Sun’ is considered a ‘red top’ newspaper and its masthead is within a red box to show this.

 
 

Headline- this is the main statement shown on the cover page, usually in a large and bold font, describing or summarising the main story.  The type of language used in a headline is likely to differ depending on the intended audience of a particular newspaper. for example 'The Sun' a tabloid and red top is likely to use more informal, colloquial languge and make use of puns and wordplay whilst 'The Independant' is likely to be far more formal.

Stand first-This is an introductory paragraph before the start of the feature. Often it is in bold. This paragraph is usually a summary of the whole story, including basic information of who the story is about, where it took place, and why.
