For my A level coursework I am going to choose Brief 2 where I will create a front page and a double-page spread from a regional newspaper where it reports the political issues that interests my broad local audience. My story will target the local area I am trying to approach. The newspaper’s audience usually attracts what is happening around the world, equality issues and politics. For my leading story that will be on the front page and continued on the inside I would like to create a story that will interest my audience to want to read more. My leading story will be about the issues of covid and its impact on society, my pages will feature different layouts and design features but will be recognisable towards the same publication through the application of a house style that is common across all pages.

As I will be talking about the impact on covid and how it has changed from time and how covid may reaching out again. My key theorists will be Curran and Seaton, that is about the effects on media content and Livingstone and Lunt where the global nature of the net and the volume of material uploaded make effective regulation very difficult. New technology might open up the media to democratising forces and the development of new communities, but it is also open to potential abuse. I would like to share the news to my audience about how covid made a huge impact in people’s lives and still is. This will include how covid has impacted in many jobs such as actors and news reporters. This is because some Jobs have had difficulty in maintaining social distancing, therefore struggling to earn their royalties. I will also talk about the death rate still raising till this day. Although covid hasn’t been forgotten recently, it still does exist. It is possible to say that it has been predicted that we will have another strong force of covid impacting the world again where it will be more dangerous than it was before, however it hasn’t hit yet.

I would like to present my front page with a strong title so that my audience knows who it targets and creates the impact towards society. I will follow the style of the daily mail as I think it has a good layout of text and pictures. My style model for the double page will also include the same topic but with supplementary reports linked to the main story. This clarifying, stories to do with the queen and politics that could potentially link to covid. I will most likely talk about the queen getting covid as she was very old and family members and the public where getting very worried on my double page spread.

Overall, I want the public to know the impacts on covid and make sure they are up to date in the latest news of covid as it hasn’t been spoken about much recently as it is quite hard to get it now as many people in the world have caught it before.
