Conclusion Drawn

As my task is to create a local newspaper, I have decided to create a local - tabloid newspaper. This is because my newspaper will be targeted at teenagers so therefore it needs to be able to appeal to them. A broadsheet would have been too formal and serious for teenagers whereas a tabloid has characteristics that appeal to a younger target audience such as, huge illustrations and big, bold headings which are some of the things that I will include in my newspaper to help target my audience.

The main article of my newspaper will be based on the closure of Blackheath Bluecoats School. The reason for this is because, according to Herbet Blumer's theory based on Interaction and Structuration, 'human beings act toward things on the basis of the meanings that the things have for them.' In relation to my newspaper I believe the local teenagers will be attracted to this article as it a story that is about their local area.
