Although there a different types of newspapers e.g. tabloids, broadsheets, local there are certain styles and features that are present in all of them. In order to make my newspaper effective i will have to follow these conventions. For example i will use the following-
- Columns for stories
- Sub headings
- Headlines
- Quotations
- Photographs
- Photograph Captions
At the beginning of the article there will be a paragraph shown in bold this is called a stand-first and will summarize the story and grab the readers attention and then convince them to read on.
From reading a range of articles from current local newspapers it is clear that the stories are written in a way that is concerned purely with the facts, unlike the national newspapers they are politically neutral and tend not to use superlative and exaggerated language. The key factor in the language of a local news story is that it always has the local area or people at heart as they are the target audience.
