When analysing the front covers and inside page, I looked at three different newspapers in detail, Kentish Express (Ashford and District), The Coventry Telegraph and The Brighton and Hove Leader.
When analysing the front covers of the local newspapers I could see some feature differences between each one. For example the Coventry Telegraph contained mostly gossip and sport related stories on the front cover, it also included some adverts about real estate and care homes. The coventry Telegraph unconventionally didn't contain a consistent colour scheme. The main headline seems to dominate most of the front cover rather than the main image. This contrasted with the Brighton and Hove Leader as the articles were mostly about concerns in the area. It also had a consistent blue colour scheme running throughout the newspaper but mostly the front page and several small articles in the inside page. The centre of the page has an image, man headline and a main article, however the Leader did also have similar adverts to The Coventry Telegraph. The Kentish Express displayed stories featuring mostly about the area and town improvements or concerns, similar to the Leader. There is one main headline with the article and pictures to draw attention to the importance of the article. On the front cover it also contained a small 'feature' sectioned providing the reader a brief insight of what the paper includes. Similarly the the Coventry Telegraph there is no clear colour scheme either, but includes advertisement for family days out or local pubs with a similar real estate advertisement.
When making my local newspaper I will try to have a consistent colour scheme bringing together the different ideas of these newspapers for the most realistic outcome, featuring adverts and a similar layout ensuring that my local newspaper will adhere to conventions but also standout with key differences.
