My story choices:
Throughout my research I have read lots of stories from local and national newspapers. As my newspaper is going to be a local newspaper I am going to include three informative and interesting stories about things that are happening around the local area. As my audience are of an older age group it is important to make sure that my stories are relevant and of their interest. As I was unsure and couldn't decide on what type of stories to include in my newspaper I created a mind map to help narrow down my options:
Here are some of my story idea's and the ones highlighted are the ones I am going to start drafting up, and seeing what they look and sound like.
Finally I have chosen my 3 main stories. Slightly changed as I originally chose to do 4 stories within my newspaper but realised during the process of making it that there was not a lot of room once all of my pieces were coming together, like the images, adverts, headings and stories. So I now have 3 detailed stories in my newspaper.
On my front page I have chosen to have one story and this story is about the local secondary school 'Gordano School' RAG week. I chose to put this story on the front of my newspaper as from my research I found that most people read the newspaper in order to find out about local events happening around their local area. I thought this story would do a good job of drawing in the audience as it is about an institution from around the local area presenting a impressive image of the area by putting their own time and efforts into raising money for two charities
The second story featured in my newspaper but on the second page is the story about the new Mezze Restaurant opening on Portished High Street. I also chose this story as I though it would fit in well with the purpose of my newspaper and also fulfil the audiences expectations by including interesting stories about their local area and again presenting it with a good community image. This story just includes why they decided to open the new Mezze here and how it is benefitting the are.
Finally the last story included in my newspaper is the story about the health care centre and what they offer. This is just an overview about the new health care centre in the are and how people can benefit by using it. The story just includes opening times and contact numbers and interesting things the public may need and want to know.
