Story Planning

For my newspaper I will need to come up with several spoof stories. I have been looking at what has been in the news recently, such as the UK riots, and trying to see what kind of stories I could come up with to tie in with those, rather than coming up with a 'cat stuck up a tree' story, although that may be included as a small side story.

Meow.

These stories will also have to tie in with the ideology of my paper, for example, if somebody who had contributed highly to this country, would my paper not care about this individual, being bias to something like the BNP, or would it object, like Amnesty International? I should also create a generic school related story, as these seem to be prominent conventions of a local newspaper. I have come up with some layouts, so I'll now be able to work out how many stories I will need and begin planning them, my deadline for this will be Friday 16th September.

Update: I've finished my layouts and will be putting them up ASAP. The stories I need to plan and write will be;

• Journalist returns home (front page)
• St. Nicholas' Market in danger of closing (front page news in brief + links to a debate page)
• School does an event to do with Isambard Kingdom Brunel
• Crime conviction story
• Charity event raises ... 
• Science advances (news in brief)
• New store debut (news in brief)
• Cat rescued from tree (news in brief)
• Somebody wins a writing competition (news in brief)

I've also worked out the photos that I need to accompany the stories or to use in my ads;

• 1 Mugshot
• 1 of somebody winning a race
• Celebrity and children posing in school area
• Journalist posing outside of the airport
• 2 columnists for the debate section
• St. Nick's market entrance
• A Nokia phone
• Spatula
• Roses
• Young child wearing uniform and top hat
• Feminist with a protest sign
• A cat stuck in a tree with a ladder beside it
