placement to enable I would walk away with the best out come. 

Creating My Local Newspaper Front Cover

Main Article Drafts

Main Article:

With the upcoming celebrations for the 100th anniversary on the 11th November this year, locals  George and Daniel  Goody found the memorial covered in eggs. The first world war veterans lives  are to be remembered and a special occasion where Buckingham Palace’s moat is to be filled with poppies celebrating the 100th anniversary. Mr   Goody told us, “I  am disgusted, I  can’t believe    anyone would disrespect those who had sacrificed their lives for their families and especially with       the anniversary coming up. Living on the high road I am often disrupted by young rowdy teenagers who’ve been drinking on a Saturday night at ridiculous hours. I immediately thought on Sunday morning it would’ve been those sort of people, it has to be, no one else would have so little respect for our fallen hero’s”.

Local pub owner Bill Stutchfield managed to raise nearly £1,300 for breast cancer. On the weekend the popular ‘boozer’ organised a bouncy castle for the children, hog roast and other activities. The locals favourite beer  garden was in full swing when what felt like the whole town got together for such a wonderful occasion. Even the landlord himself  got  into  the spirit with a game of ‘wet-sponge’ where  customers would  get   three sponges to be launched at the landlord. Bill Stutchfield  said “It  was  such  a lovely  day for a wonderful cause, I’m  glad I could help  support  and do  as  much  as  I could to raise some money, I’d like to say a special thank you to the staff”,

Neighbours frustrated  by the soon to be flats  still being worked  on. The restructure turning the six   bedroom house into flats has  been going on  upcoming  two years next month. The company ‘Samuels’ claim a lack  of  funds has slowed the process rather than personal company issues, with  the apartments already been sold.

My Ideal Reader

When considering my audience I thought it would be a good idea

to have an ideal reader. Similar to the daily express with their ideal

reader, Doris, who had two cats and played the national lottery.

My ideal reader is very similar to the farther in Malcolm in the Middle.

A farther of two-three who after work returns home has dinner with

his family talking about all their daily affairs. He'll read the newspaper

during lunch at work, or when arriving home, he is interested in

health so always flicks to the food, garden and spot sections.

Although he's not particularly up to date with technology loves

to be connected with the rest of the community by knowing the local news.

My ideal reader loves crime blockbusters so loves reading when

something big happens against the law in his local area to tell

all his friends on poker night on the first Thursday of every month.
