Newspaper Articles

Recently I've begun constructing my media product, and I've finished writing the stories and I have placed them onto my photoshop layouts. Firstly I looked at real newspaper articles and how their narrative progressed as well as looking at narrative theory and the triangle method. I then came up with some generic stories and began to plan them. All of them began with an introduction and a summary of the event, followed by any other relevant information. Finally I concluded the article and sometimes added a line asking the readers to go to the website to find out more. Obviously this website doesn't exist but I want to make my newspaper as realistic/professional as I can. I also cut some of the stories from the paper when I realised that I only needed three pages and not four. However, I moved some of the stories around as I needed to alter some of the layout, especially on the debates page. The stories I have removed are

• The charity event story. This was because I felt it was weaker than the others as it was more of an account with no real narrative structure. 
• The news in brief story on science advances. This was because I didn't really know where I was going with it or what I would even write about. Additionally, unless I linked it to Bristol in some way, for example the research was carried out at a local university, then it wouldn't be relevant to the paper as it is not supposed to be a national type paper.

I have kept all of the others as I think that these were the strongest and were more relevant to the paper. I will be putting up the stories ASAP (if I put them in this post they may make it too long).
