The Evening Chronicle - Cover Analysis

The Prezi analyses the cover of the Evening Chronicle, below are additional notes to the Prezi presentation discussing how the cover of the Evening Chronicle will attract readers.



Sensational Story - The language used on the main body of the article are dominant and extreme. The cover line uses these words to attract their audience. The Evening Chronicle will do this to create a 'drama' and sell the paper, having a story like this will allow for the paper to create more stories and issues off of the story.
Combination of image and article - The image that is used helps with the dramatic influence of the cover line on the main body of the article. having it look like the paper was torn and the image shown beneath it adds to the dramatic effect of the article.

Change of Plan

Rather than filming a short film as part of my A2 coursework as I initially planned, I'm instead going to create a local newspaper. I will follow the brief set out by the exam board in which I will create the first two pages of the newspaper along with a billboard poster and radio advertisement.
