Front cover Conventions

Newspaper Front Cover

There are four goals a newspaper needs to achieve in order to get the best response for its final outcome.

  1.  It is important to reinforce the newspaper's identity through easily recognisable style features. When I discover my format and style I will need to keep to this on the regular publications in order for the newspaper to be recognised in order for it to become more popular. Also, making the logo on the front cover is crucial as images are a way of catching peoples attention without them even reading a thing. 
  2. Attract your readers. Know your target audience. 
  3. Show your newspapers attitude towards the news of the day. All newspaper have different opinions and readers like to see different sides of opinions so they can access and evaluation what they think about the article themselves. This can be done in a variety of ways such as Using a strong headline and adjusting it to the newspapers thought on the article. For example, I have looked further into this and I gathered up a variety of different newspapers all on the same story of Ed Miliband's father. Not one newspaper was the same. This just goes to show that all newspapers have different opinions and you want yours to have an opinion.
  4. Include stories, exclusives and better coverage of main stories than other newspapers. Beat your competitors and put in that extra something to stand out.
