Research: The New Forest Post

Use the arrows to navigate around the presentation.

What can I take from The New Forest Post? 
  • The newspaper's name is big, this is common in a lot of newspapers, it is placed in the top centre and is around 3/4 of the width of the front cover.
  • There is information under the newspapers name, which includes the date, website, issue number (this is a common feature on most newspapers)
  • There is advertising surrounding the newspapers name.
  • This local newspaper is free, so its income is from advertising, thus this newspaper is largely dominated by advertising.
  • Unlike the last local newspaper, the New Forest Post only shows one article on the front cover (lead article). This is the same on the inside page. This is largely down to the fact that the newspaper uses a lot of space for advertising.
  • The New Forest Post has a tag line under the article head line, this helps to engage the audience, and get them to move on.
  • The article on the front cover comes with a captioned photo, which, unlike the previous newspaper, is related to the lead article.
  • The information bar is continued through out the newspaper at the top of the pages.
I can now take these points and incorporate them into my own work.
