Newspaper - Finished Product

Newspaper Finished product

After recieving the finished newspaper I can clearly see straight away that it looks very profesional and also has the feeling of a student made newspaper.

How well does the newspaper meet our original ideas / intentions?

Our original ideas for the newspaper were to have plenty of visuals and also to have information which links to the exam, the main idea was for each group / persons to write articles about subjects that relate to the exam itself, for example 'media in the online age' and the 'Time to turn off your TV for good?' written by Tara & Matt. Also the step by step guide to question 1a' by James links directly to the exam and gives some uselful advice, there were also some other articles which linked to the exam and were very usefull for students for revision purposes, which was what we wanted from the newspaper at the end of the project.

Overall the finished product / newspaper in some cases reaches our original plans / expectations but unfortunatly in some cases it doesn't. The main thing which makes the newspaper a good resource for revision is the fact that it is in a simple layout with some very uselful information within it such as:

• Revision tips
• Useful facts and figures for people to use within their exam
• Relevant information
• Information displayed within diagrams / images

On the other hand there were some significant down sides to our finsihed nespaper, things such as:

• Some articles are lacking images
• Articles are not always consistant in style
• Font style is not always the same
• Some articles do not relate to the exam
• Not enough specific reference to the exam itself
• Some articles are lacking facts and figures

Overall the newspaper is in mny opinion very good considering the time we had to work on it, I strongly believe that if we had more time then we could of amended the above things which were wrong with the newspaper but overall I believe considering the time which we had for this project we done very well indeed but of course there were problems with the finished product which I belive would of been apparent even if we did have more time.

Here is a video I created which hsows our finished newspaper / product:

Unfortunately I have accidently forgot to put a photo of one of the pages within this video, the article / photo which I have accidently forgotten to place within this video is Matt & Tara's article about Media on the online age, shown below is a photo of the article I missed out:
