Newsworthiness

Newsworthiness is the quality of being sufficiently interesting to be reported in news bulletins

for a story to be worthy of being printed in the newspaper it should meet the following criteria 

Six Criteria for Newsworthiness

o  Prominence—a person, organization or institution in the story is important or well-known.

o  Proximity—nearby; newspapers print stories about people and events in the community or region where their readers live.

o  Timeliness—something happening or important right now; most news stories reflect events in the immediate past or involving an issue that affects readers now.

o  Oddity/uniqueness—out of the ordinary, unusual; some stories are about people or events that are unexpected or special in some way—perhaps an athlete who displays remarkable ability or an unusual celebration.

o  Consequence—effects of a decision or event; newspapers publish stories about issues that affect readers directly or indirectly.

o  Human interest—something that touches lives, imagination or emotions of readers; stories may be about an inspiring teacher or a courageous pet, for instance.

National vs Local newspaper

                         

 The basic difference between the two is that national newspapers such as The nation, the dawn etc mainly cover news on a larger scale they are mainly concerned with what goes around nationwide. International news is also often catered by national newspaper such as dollar rates compared to other currencies and price raise. National newspapers therefore help its reader stay well-  versed about not only what is happening in their country but worldwide. 

       This however has the disadvantage of cost the               price is much higher that the local one due to the           shipping cost of transporting millions copies                  thought the country

    On the other hand local newspaper offers its                    reader’s information about the world in which                  they interact every day which is their city mainly,          sometimes this is more helpful than reading about          the country as a whole. As their span and                     consumers they reach is smaller compared to             national, these papers can focus more on each           issue and bring extensive coverage, context and a local perspective to the news. Local papers,           such as The Lahore times often also cost less than   national publications

   However, local newspapers can't offer the scope that     national newspapers give their readers, nor can they       afford to cover many international events due to their     limited budget. The choice between the two is based        on the requirement of news of the reader.

Newspaper History

What is a newspaper

What is a newspaper from Amna Qaiser

Reason for choosing the brief

Like in the first year in which i opted for print brief due to my interest in still photography and editing rather than cinematography the second year also had the same reason. Although I myself am not a reader of newspaper but given the option of the briefs this brief gave me an opportunity to develop such a paper that could be a little different, not only focusing on the dry politics propaganda but also targeting other niches in the market that are ignored  by newspapers of today, for example i would also be including people interested in photography in my target audience. putting forward their interests in a section of my paper 

Set Brief

The print brief includes two task

1) Ancillary task: This includes working on two of three options

a) A poster for the newspaper

b) A radio advertisement for the newspaper;

c) Two hyper linked pages from the paper's website

2) Main Task: Moreover the  construction of Two pages of a local newspaper has to be carried out for the main task , after finalizing the columns and news that the newspaper will include the next step would be the development of the pages.

For this purpose we have to conduct our own photography and all the images need to be authentic and self taken, using an editing software of our choice we will develop our pages using the required conventions. The main page will include a headline and sub stories that are published in the newspaper also the masthead and the date and day the newspaper is published. The second page will include the columns,paid advertisements and stories that are cannot make the headlines
