The News, Saturday 11th September 2010

In Saturday's edition, and the final edition of the week, of The News there were 83 pictures included in the newspaper. This was the lowest amount of images that has been put into an issue of The News this week, this may be the case because it's the last paper of the week or they just had more the other types of content for this day's newspaper. All the week the layout of each issue of The News has stayed pretty similar which means that they are keeping to a certain theme which obviously appeals to the local audience who this newspaper is aimed at. The main headline is bold with black font and reads. 'TRIPLE TRAGEDY MADE ME A SHOPAHOLIC'. This headline uses emotive language with words like 'Tragedy' to make the audience be symphatic towards the person who the article is talking about. It also ends of the week by giving the reader something to think about before the next edition is out on the next Monday. The back headline is in bold, black font and reads, ' 'JOKER' CAN GIVE US THE EDGE'. This is the first time this week that the colour of the back headline wasn't the same as the colour of the font on the main headline which uses white font. This may be because again this the last paper of the week or it may just be a design choice. This headline is talking about a football player who plays for Portsmouth FC, this particular player has been featured in previous editions this week so the reader will be following his story and progress while he is playing for Portsmouth FC. There is also other stories featured on the back of the paper which gives the reader other stories to follow along with the main story that is being featured.
