I intend to create the front page of a newspaper. To do so I plan to use a style model of a successful newspaper to ensure that my design looks professional.

I’m going to use Photoshop and Indesign, both Adobe products to design and create the product. In terms of design I plan to have an image related to the story taking up the majority of the space, then columns containing the content of the story below and/or surrounding the image and of course a masthead at the top.

My product will be aimed at an audience of all ages and will cover news from around the world but the main story will be aimed at more of a British audience.

The body text for my front page:

Freddo prices have gone up exponentially, it has risen a whopping 200% since the 1990’s and Freddo enjoyers around the globe are suffering because of it. It is being rumoured that freddo fans are planning riots to take place all over the UK, our reporters interviewed some of the alleged supporters and possible participants of the Freddo riots.

Michael from Liverpool stated “you know it’s just a scam now like no one going to pay 50p for a Freddo I just think it’s a bit mad” Michael then expressed that he is in full support of the movement to lower the price of the Freddo.

Figure 1 displays the inflation of the price of the Freddo and as you can see by 2030 the Freddo is estimated to 53p which for a chocolate bar which is typically 10g you may be starting to support the Freddo movement yourself, but Police departments around the U.K has been made aware of the planned riots and have voiced on the social media site ‘Twitter’ that “Anyone who participates in these riots will be detained”

So the question is- should Freddo prices continue to climb or should the public take action and fight for reasonable Freddo prices

Millions of TikTok Accounts Deleted Overnight! Tech Giants are Stealing YOUR Information!

Millions of TikTok users around the world are being prompted to delete any online accounts associated with the content-sharing application TikTok. This is a result of the company being accused of selling its interface user’s collected data to Governments and data miners who are paying billions for it. This is a highly illegal operation as individuals are not offered to consent to this when registering an account with TikTok. The company may also be working with other sources of information to gain more knowledge of its audience, as information such as a person’s gender are somehow displayed on a user’s profile, however this information is never provided to TikTok’s database during account creation. This has lead to rising suspicion levels surrounding the Chinese company, a country in which the app is banned. BANNED in the country it was created in. The company has publicly stated that over 15 million accounts have been deactivated remotely by the users since accusations arose yesterday afternoon. Many country’s Governments are recommending that their population delete private and personal information stored in accounts registered with TikTok, in order to prevent as much of the data leak as possible. Nation leaders including Boris Johnson and President Biden have stated that they were not aware of the entire operation and will be inducing strict rules and regulations for people who choose to continue to use the social media site. Hopefully, these precautions will help prevent such an event from ever recurring.

For my newspaper NEA I am going to produce the front cover of a local newspaper, called CIN (channel island news). This will be aimed at an audience of all ages living in the region who are interested in national and international news stories as well as stories relating specifically to the local area.

In terms of layout and design, I am going to follow the style model of our CSP (The i). This has a main image (half page) with two ‘plugs‘ or ‘ears‘ (ie headline stories from inside the paper), underneath a strapline for my paper. I will also have a masthead, barcode and other institutional details (time, date, price etc).

For my main story I am going to write about Unruly children ‘making a mockery out of the police’ in Jersey estate described as ‘like a war zone’, this is a current issue in Jersey and the police have described these teens as having ANTISOCIAL behaviour and allegedly young children are ‘getting out of hand’ on an estate, a resident has warned – despite an increased police presence in the area. Underneath the main image I will have the body article and a fictional image of unruly children being antisocial towards police. Unlike my style model I will have about 150-200 words which will form the main article (which will be continued inside the paper) which will be set out in columns, with a big drop cap on the first letter of the first word. I will also have a contents bar at the bottom / footer.

Overall, the paper will be clean, contemporary and stylish, for example, I will use sans serif font and feature more hard news than soft news (ie no gossip or celebrity news, as well as a focus on words over images). I will employ a formal register, using mature and sophisticated vocabulary. I will follow the inverted pyramid structure for my main story. I will also use a pastel colour palette – yellows, oranges etc.

body text for front page

Antisocial behaviour is very common withing the youth of today, but it has gotten to the point that the Jersey States of police have said unruly children are making a mockery out of them. The JEP has spoken to several Islanders living around Cheapside who did not wish to be identified for fear of retribution and are buying cameras to try and ‘secure’ their homes.

One resident Joshua Ligera has described the area as a “war zone” in which children were throwing stones at windows, and damaging property whilst in posession of weapons.

The States police are carrying out regular patrols on Kesington Place at cheapside and the Community Policing Team is working with residents, businesses and other agencies to try to address the issue. One of the Centeniers for the parish, Dylan Mcgarragle , said he was aware of incidents involving ‘unruly’ children who were throwing stones and running away with weapons. ‘It’s hard to pinpoint and the trouble is by the time you get there they are all gone.”

He said it was difficult to estimate the ages of those involved, but noted that some of the children were ‘certainly’ under 12 years old. One resident told the JEP the situation was ‘getting out of hand’. ‘Kids have been breaking windows and throwing eggs, throwing stones, damaging cars, pulling out knifes – the place is like a war zone. ‘Something has to be done because it is getting really bad now,’ they said. ‘We are all buying cameras to secure the properties – it’s not a safe place,’ the resident added, estimating that the youngsters involved ranged between 8 and 17 years old. Another resident said the increased police presence had made ‘no difference at all’. ‘They [the officers] are as good as gold – they talk to the residents and they do their patrols but these kids are making a mockery out of them,’ they added. A police spokesperson said: ‘The Community Policing Team are working in partnership with residents, businesses and agencies to understand and address incidents of antisocial behaviour in Five Oaks.

‘The St Helier community officer, PC Amber Jones, and other officers regularly patrol the area with the aim of preventing incidents and reassuring residents, workers and visitors that police take antisocial behaviour seriously.’

They added: ‘PC Woolley encourages everyone to report incidents of anti-social behaviour and crime to the police, or provide information with complete anonymity through Crimestoppers. Antisocial behaviour is when someone’s behaviour causes harassment, alarm or distress to others who are not of the same household as the person causing it.’

An Andium Homes spokesperson said: ‘Les Cinq Chênes is our site and we are aware of some issues relating to alleged antisocial behaviour, although it is certainly not clear that this is necessarily being caused just by estate residents. These issues are, quite rightly, being handled by the police, supported by us and other statutory agencies such as the Children’s Service.’

They explained that, as the landlord for the homes, they did not have the statutory powers to addressantisocial behaviour ‘in the way that the police can’.

‘Our powers, such as they are, are limited to eviction – but only if the antisocial behaviour relates to a tenant – even then this is a lengthy and often complex process which is ultimately determined by the courts, not by us,’ they said.

‘The message we want to give residents is that we are keen to know about instances of antisocial behaviour that impact on them and we will support the police in addressing those issues.

‘What is vitally important is that residents do take the time to report issues to the police, if possible at the time they are happening,’ they added.

in my news paper i will disscus the war in ucrain and how the british goverment suggests we get ready to prepare for the war to come to europe and that we should increase british tropps as jersey is apart of the UK we are affcted by this-

this concern that came from the commander in chief goes globally across the UK. teenagers of 18 – 20 apprehensive over the threat and consider not going and parents telling their children not to go in fear that they will not see them again over the commander in chiefs thought which are not based on facts but on a hypothesis . I asked a teenager if he would join the army his name was Sam Wells and he replied with ” if the war came to me and I was asked to join the army in order to fight the war that is approaching us and he said he would not in the fear of his life and he would not want to killed in the action of war ” this out look on war is what many younger generation think about this subject. those that are more older in their mid thirty are more okay with going to war since they ” have lived their life and the younger generation is only just begun living it ” there are some young teens that are willing to fight for their freedom and their country and to protect their loved ones although those love ones are trying to stop them from going out to protect them and fight i interviewed the Freidzelsons and the father said he supports his sons opinion to join the war but the mother is very much against the idea of her son joining the war and the factors of how she could lose her son to the war and the fear of him not returning she said ” would kill me if I didn’t know if he wasn’t okay! its my job as a parent to protect my son as he is my response ability and to lose him would be losing myself and i feel like nothing would feel the same without him?” the worries of a mother and child and its motherly love the thing that is holding back a teenager from going off to see the horrors of war is the bond and motherly love of a mother and her son.

 Ideology can be defined as a collection of values and beliefs. To what extent do media products target audiences by constructing an ideological view of the world?

Forms of media products create different views of the world to attempt to attract consumers and make profits. In this essay I am going to make arguments and statements towards the idea of media products constructing different views by referring to the Daily Mail and The i. As James Curran stated that, “Media enables viewers to plug into different views and perspectives” meaning he believes media products can construct different ideological views through the way newspapers are presented and designed to makes us believe everything it contains.

To begin, on page 6 of The Daily Mail it states, “Final parade was so British” which gives off the main idea about this newspaper being about the queens jubilee and being mostly aimed towards Britain. This displays the idea of the Daily Mail being more of a right wing newspaper because of its conservative views about economy. On the editorial page (page 18) the editor states, “Boris is right and Macron is wrong” this links to Habermas and the theory of the public sphere which is described as a place where citizens come together to exchange opinions, discuss and eventually form public opinion. Meaning, the editor has shown his opinion towards the war situation, which further links to the idea of newspapers constructing different views about the world and creating new beliefs. Habermas also states, “newspapers, letter and notes forged a consensus which shaped the direction of the state/country.” which further proves the theory of newspapers constructing different views. This is evident on the first page when it writes, “Slimmed-down Royal Family is revealed in Jubilee finale” This displays a slight Authoritarian view on Britain because the editor has used the word ‘revealed’ to try and make the family seem as they have been hidden away and have lesson freedom than other citizens. Noam Chomsky quotes that, “he who controls the media controls the mind of the public” meaning whoever controls the Daily Mail have an aim to try and ‘brainwash’ the public into following their beliefs and views.

However, in the newspaper The i they try to target audiences in a more liberal way by conveying there views in a more centrist political orientation meaning they are neither left or right wing. The i is owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust and runs with one independent editor. Where as the Daily Mail clearly supports the conservative party. It quotes, “How long before Priti Patel makes it illegal to boo at someone we find offensive?” as you can see The i is openly criticising the conservative party – showing the liberal stance. The i is described as more of an Libertarian newspaper which means it includes different views towards political parties and freedom. On page 20 it states, “Thank you for saying what was needed to say” which proves my point of the newspaper aiming towards a more liberal view and being a left wing viewed newspaper. Also, on page 32 the newspaper shows more support towards the left wing view and freedom. This is evident, “Flying the flag with pride” meaning the newspaper can be described as a counter-opposite towards the Daily Mail because it doesn’t support the freedom of citizens as much as The i.

In conclusion, both The i and The Daily Mail target audiences by constructing an ideological view of the world through many different ways such as, politics, freedom or opinions.
