Liverpool EchoThe Liverpool Echo is a newspaper published by Trinity Mirror in Liverpool,

Merseyside, England. It is published Monday to Saturday, and is Liverpool's evening newspaper while its sister paper, the Liverpool Daily Post, is the morning paper. In the first half of 2007, the Liverpool Echo had a Monday-through-Saturday daily circulation

of just under 110,000 copies

Iconic logo, perhaps something resembling Wirral on my ‘Wirral

Prophet’ logo would be wise

Front Cover

Competitions and advertising, it would appear they are more

common in ‘local

newspapers’ to create revenue

Liverpool EchoEmphasize on local sport, perhaps mentioning Tranmere rovers a Wirral division 1 team would be advisable

Articles about local celebrities suggest that their isn’t accentuation on niche topics such as politics but more on entertainment and sports in general, perhaps local papers need to apply themselves to the mainstream audience

Drop down box with relevant various News hyperlinks.

Health, education and politics appear to be essential

sections

Local newspapers may have an emphasize on presenting local weather, perhaps my headline page should implement this…

Birmingham Post has some

challenging news articles,

so should Wirral Prophet

Close up shots of people are required, this must be implemented for my idea to interview a person of significance in the Wirral community

Having movie reviews in a local newspaper was interesting as I only associated them with national newspapers, perhaps Wirral Prophet could also break the trend as it were

Large emphasise on very local

topics such as jobs and

Property that insinuate its local

origins

Same red colour scheme

throughout which proves to

be most effective

A very clever collaboration of

local weather and the

dominant snow story, perhaps local weather

must be implemented

somehow on my front cover

Structured columns not only showcase local sporting news but also national entertainment news

It is promising that

The Manchester Evening News has a dedicated local education section

as I intend to have an

education story on my second

page. Being a local newspaper, the

MEN website never seems to be short

of an advertisement or two. If I am to

truly make a local newspaper I must

emphasise advertisement for local businesses to

ensure revenue

By having the least popular schools as

well as most popular the Newspaper

doesn’t try to paint a picture of a perfect region, they instead sacrifice that for a more interesting

story as every reader would be enticed to

know the least popular schools

This article appears to support my

plans to put the Wirral council in a bad light in a

(fictional) article about closing a swimming pool

I felt it necessary to include analysis of a politics section as it one of the essential aspects of my newspaper

This MP outside the

iconic 10 Downing

Street appears to be shown in

a negative light

Every newspaper I

have researched

seem to have included the

regional weather

It would appear in retrospect that analysis of a politics section of a London Newspaper was

ill-advised as the city with 10 Downing street would of course only have national political news and not the struggles between local mps which was my intention
