Online Newspaper

For the first half of my final year the journalism students were split in to two groups of 9 and produced an online local newspaper together.

The group had to each produce 12 articles in total. Six were for news for a dummy edition to get feed back from our tutors about. The second group of six were for a real week of news between the 10th and 17th December 2014.

The group had to coordinate what articles they were doing so the same article wasn’t written about. Each person also had the responsibility to produce a range of content from news articles, multimedia and photojournalism pieces, entertainment news and reviews.

Working with the other students was challenging but also helpful as it was good to communicate and talk about articles with other students.

As the newspaper was just online other elements such as social media tasks were involved also changing the writing style to suit online journalism more.

Features Spread

So this is the two page spread I made for my Feature Writing Class in my second year of University.

The style of the double page is supposed to look like a real local newspaper. I decided on the Chester Chronicle as this was a newspaper that is local and features a range of topics.

The two sides to the spread had to be thematically the same so I chose two charities that are working in and around Chester; the first is the food bank that is part of the Tinsel Trust and the second is charity that takes poor children from Belarus and Ukraine to England for a month each year.

The content of the articles cannot be shown as I do not have permission from the people I interviewed however can be available on request.

PDF and photos are available. The spread was produced from scratch using InDesign. Photos were edited in Adobe Photoshop.
