London Evening Standard
Liverpool EchoThe Liverpool Echo is a newspaper published by Trinity Mirror in Liverpool,
Merseyside, England. It is published Monday to Saturday, and is Liverpool's evening newspaper while its sister paper, the Liverpool Daily Post, is the morning paper. In the first half of 2007, the Liverpool Echo had a Monday-through-Saturday daily circulation
of just under 110,000 copies
Iconic logo, perhaps something resembling Wirral on my ‘Wirral
Prophet’ logo would be wise
Front Cover
Competitions and advertising, it would appear they are more
common in ‘local
newspapers’ to create revenue
NEXTINDEX
Liverpool EchoEmphasize on local sport, perhaps mentioning Tranmere rovers a Wirral division 1 team would be advisable
Articles about local celebrities suggest that their isn’t accentuation on niche topics such as politics but more on entertainment and sports in general, perhaps local papers need to apply themselves to the mainstream audience
NEXTINDEX
Drop down box with relevant various News hyperlinks.
Health, education and politics appear to be essential
sections
Local newspapers may have an emphasize on presenting local weather, perhaps my headline page should implement this…
NEXTINDEX
Birmingham Post has some
challenging news articles,
so should Wirral Prophet
Close up shots of people are required, this must be implemented for my idea to interview a person of significance in the Wirral community
Having movie reviews in a local newspaper was interesting as I only associated them with national newspapers, perhaps Wirral Prophet could also break the trend as it were
NEXTINDEX
Large emphasise on very local
topics such as jobs and
Property that insinuate its local
origins
Same red colour scheme
throughout which proves to
be most effective
A very clever collaboration of
local weather and the
dominant snow story, perhaps local weather
must be implemented
somehow on my front cover
Structured columns not only showcase local sporting news but also national entertainment news
NEXTINDEX
It is promising that
The Manchester Evening News has a dedicated local education section
as I intend to have an
education story on my second
page. Being a local newspaper, the
MEN website never seems to be short
of an advertisement or two. If I am to
truly make a local newspaper I must
emphasise advertisement for local businesses to
ensure revenue
By having the least popular schools as
well as most popular the Newspaper
doesn’t try to paint a picture of a perfect region, they instead sacrifice that for a more interesting
story as every reader would be enticed to
know the least popular schools
This article appears to support my
plans to put the Wirral council in a bad light in a
(fictional) article about closing a swimming pool
NEXTINDEX
I felt it necessary to include analysis of a politics section as it one of the essential aspects of my newspaper
This MP outside the
iconic 10 Downing
Street appears to be shown in
a negative light
Every newspaper I
have researched
seem to have included the
regional weather
It would appear in retrospect that analysis of a politics section of a London Newspaper was
ill-advised as the city with 10 Downing street would of course only have national political news and not the struggles between local mps which was my intention
