Cory Smith Media: Newspaper Sizes

Friday 25 September 2015

Newspaper Sizes

To create an authentic newspaper I want the sizes of my work to be realistic. I looked at the sizes of three newspapers. These included The Journal, a National Broadsheet, The Shields Gazette and Sunderland Echo, both local newspapers.

The Sizes for the newspapers are as follow, these measurements are when the magazine is open.

The Journal

Width 59.7cm

Height 36cm

Shields Gazette

Width 58.1cm

Height 37cm

Sunderland Echo

Width 58.1cm
Height 36.9cm

I noticed that both the local newspapers are of similar size and there is only a slight difference in the height of the newspaper. That is why I will make the size of my magazine 58.1cmx37cm so it follows the same convention of pre existing local newspapers.

Target B

To achieve my target my research, planning and evaluation must be detailed, effectively communicated and presented digitally, using a wide variety of formats. I have to research
into similar products and target audience and to show the process of planning by including excellent work on shortlists, drafts, storyboards, scripts, locations and props. I need to show evidence of the research and planning informing the construction process. My evaluation must reflect my understanding of forms and conventions, the use of
new media throughout the stages of production and the way my ancillary and primary tasks work effectively together. There will be a good understanding of the significance of audience feedback. My production work, across the formats, will demonstrate excellent creativity and imagination as I seek to make them as convincing as possible and it will also reflect my mastery in technical skills such as controlled use of the camera,
attention to framing, variety of shot sizes, to mise-en-scène, appropriate transitions and use of sound
