Daily Mail Front Page - Evaluation

   My Newspaper                                                                Inspiration

We were asked to make a Daily Mail newspaper front cover using various headlines told by Mr Bowers, where he stated many different stories that we could include into our front cover including Ladybirds with STD's and Salmonella poisoning. In the video, there was also a story about child obesity and how it effects their IQ and health, which was told by a Professor and also a witness. We were told that whilst also having these shocking articles within our covers, we had to add many Christmas touches to make it more festive.

In decided to make my newspaper front cover in Publisher because it is easy to move objects around and also to adapt various parts of the document.

I used many different tools within my newspaper. One of these was the site: https://store.typenetwork.com/foundry/fontbureau/fonts/whitman-display/condensed-extra-black. This was the font I used for the Headline as it is most similar to the actual font the Daily Mail use. 

The biggest obstacle I had to face was making all of my text and headline fit the page where there was no excess space and all text was in proportion to one another. This took me a while to overcome as there was always a problem with something, but after a while, all text went to proportion and it looks professional.

I chose my fonts because I wanted my newspaper to look as realistic as possible. I also used the format of the celebrity gossip on the right where the photo can correlate to the shocking article on the left.

My initial feedback was to fix my headline to make it all the same proportion. Others told me that the photo I used for my celebrity gossip could be cropped down and expanded in order to see the photo well enough.

I think that my Christmas market advertisement went well because it shows that the Christmas market is going to be huge and successful. It also give's the 'festive feeling' to all readers due to the pictures and text. Next time, i would add more about the effects of child obesity as it didn't expand on the topic enough.

Newspaper Industry - 500 Word Essay

Print sales have declined for a number of reasons. The main reason is the rise in technology and where all newspapers are now accessible; the internet. With the sudden rise in technology and the internet, majority of newspaper companies such as The Guardian and Daily Mail have posted all their daily papers on their sites along with the front page being posted on the BBC site. This makes all newspapers easier to access and also more available, whilst being convenient to the public. All readers can now access them whenever they want without having to go out and pay for the papers, and instead, just look it up on the internet, assuming they have an internet connection or signal. Although it is cheaper for yourself to access the papers as you don’t have to actually purchase each daily paper, all paper companies ask for readers to subscribe to their paper in order for them to survive. This could also give their subscribers various perks that a casual reader wouldn’t gain.

Using the internet as your newspaper source is a positive. This is because all readers can comment on various articles and have conversations with other readers online to gain more opinions on the specific article. Although this can occasionally can start arguments on different opinions, people do find this very useful and informative to understand the full picture. However, using the internet to access your daily news does have its negatives. These negatives include requiring an internet connection in order to access your favourite papers, losing stories due to more recent stories overwriting them, more information is given by print newspapers and may also give physical eye strain. The biggest negative for the rise in online newspapers is that the biggest age for reading newspapers is the elderly, average of 65. Due to the elderly not well advanced with technology, they still prefer reading physical print newspapers compared to our online copies. But because the amount of print papers decreasing by the year, elderly cannot read their beloved newspapers. So, all newspaper companies are slowly losing their audience due to this change.

Citizen Journalism (the collection, dissemination, and analysis of news and information by the general public, especially by means of the Internet) has made the mass media affect the traditional way for reporting and understanding news because of the audience reacting different to stories. For example, when there was a violent outbreak in Turkey during 2013, news stories over the internet had an outbreak over the comment and reported making fun and lying over the stories told. This brought controversy over whether or not information given by the general public was necessary because of these sensitive areas being derided.

According to studies, The Daily Mail had a decrease of 55% of print papers sold during 2000 since 1960. In comparison, online newspapers, which were first introduced in 2000, have been preferred by 55% of the public, that stated they prefer reading the daily news online rather than a print.
