Daily Mail front cover

This week we're completing our Daily Mail front covers on either publisher or indesign. You can now log on to adobe creative cloud from home. 

Firstly, and good for revision, study these - Daily Mail front pages - Google Search 

Then write down Mr Bowers' suggestions for stories - you don't need to use these. Use a traditional format including celeb/royal story and dramatic headline of your choice. You are copying the LAYOUT of a real DM paper but not the stories. Size A3. Images can be found or original and for the DM masthead you'll have to screengrab a real one as they have their own font. You need to save the images first, copy and paste doesn't work, they need to be uploaded onto the programme. Sort your text box sizes first and create a space for where your images will go.

Industry and Audience in newspapers research

What the exam board want you to be able to discuss is:

Detailed discussion of the role of print and online technology and news consumption and response by comparison of the audience address and possible audience needs met by the differences in the print and online editions and social media feeds of the Guardian and Daily Mail/MailOnline

• Research into differences in audience responses to, uses of, and needs fulfilled by online and print news, with special reference to the Guardian and Daily Mail/ MailOnline

• Investigate specialist, perhaps global, audiences served by online news (e.g. news for groups defined by a special interest, e.g. birdwatchers, or a shared identity, e.g. Britons living abroad).

• Researching contemporary examples of citizen journalism and participation
