Newspapers
What
makes a good front page?
Negativity:
bad news is more popular than good news, and is more exiting.
Unexpectedness:
an event that is a shock will sell more papers because people will want to find
out about it – this usually pushes other news stories out of the way of that
newspapers agenda (the list of stories that may appear in certain magazines or
newspapers).
Personification:
News stories that have a human interest are more likely to appear in
newspapers. Readers are interested in celebrities and stories that have a
deeper meaning.
Proximity
– The closer to home the story is, the more interesting it is for the reader.
This may mean a local event or a national event.
Easy
to read: Events that are easy to report will be higher on the agenda of some
newspapers. Modern wars are often difficult to report on, and are avoided in
the tabloids.
