For my coursework i will be focusing on my newspaper talking about the problems of the new abortion law, this targets all audiences as it is a worldwide problem that does affect everyone, mainly women but still also a large deal for men. Laura Mulvey will play a role in this as ‘Feminist Critical Thinking’ as her theory suggests that women are not placed in a role where they can take control of a scene, instead they are simply put there to be observed from an objectified point of view. The abortion ban is a large step backwards leaving women with only 50 years of their own right for a legal abortion. My body of article will be focusing mainly on how this law is going to lead to unsafe abortions and rape statistics increasing a large amount and also period tracking apps run the by the government destroying young women’s rights and lastly how the abortion penalty is outstandingly higher then the rape offence which is a deep set back for society.
For my layout design i will be following the style model from ‘The Sunday Times’ with a clear headline and masthead stating the issue that is being recognized. My masthead will be made by editing on photoshop so that the statement is bold and clear. There will be a price and barcode labelled so readers will know the price and also a date of when the newspaper was published and released. I will be using drop caps and wrap text so that it is more appealing and interesting for the reader. The front page will be a main image labelling the issue that will be spoken about surrounded by smaller articles for locals to read about. I will use different fonts so the paper look smart and well presented to gain more publicity. I will use inverted pyramid structure on my main story for better structure.
There will be daily facts throughout the paper updating you on what’s new and updates on other issues. The news included will be mostly important and significant to what is happening internationally, there will be sections about local news in jersey so it will also inform you on daily life changes. I will create my paper using InDesign and photoshop for finishing touches.
