The News, Thursday 9th September 2010

In Thursday's edition of The News, there were 85 pictures included in the newspaper. This is the lowest amount of pictures included in The News so far this week but is still a high number and close to the other amounts of images in the newspaper, this shows that are still trying to keep a consistant amount of pictures in the paper to it flowing consistantly. Once this issue keeps with the similar layout that has been used throughout the week with the way that the text, images and coverline have put layed out. The main headline is in bold, black font and reads 'FIGHT STARTS TO SAVE THE MARINES'. This headline is appealing to the local audience as it is referring to the history of the city which people who come from Portsmouth take a lot of pride in. There is also a theme going on as Tuesday's headline was in black font, so far they have had a pattern of white font, black font, white font, black font. There is also another smaller headline with image above which is relating to the same story as the main headline. The back healdine is also in bold, black font, like Tuesday's edition, and reads 'CIFTCI: KEEP ME IN THE SPOTLIGHT'. This is a quote from a footballer who plays for Portsmouth FC, who is the newsapaper's local team. This would appeal to the reader as they would be interested in this particular player and football team as they are more than likley going to support them because they are from the area.
