What my newspaper story will be about...

I have been looking out for any event happening in my local community which would be possible for me to write about.

I have realised that a sixth form student in my school has is arranging a fashion show at my school, showing off most A-level, GCSE and maybe even some lower school students textiles work. I think this would be a good event for me to write about, as I can hold interview with Rosie-Beth Hickling who is arranging the fashion show, and take photo of the students in the process of creating their garments. Also I feel that as fashion is something I am interested in a can write about this more passionately which will create a more interesting story for the reader. As this is about what young people are doing I feel this gives a positive light on young people, unlike ordinary stereotypes, and hopefully will attract a new younger audience which I aim for.

Rethink of story idea..

I have had a rethink whilst planning my final newspaper story. I was planning on having a local newspaper with a spin of a national story, but i realised that the would make it difficult for me to use my own photographs, so i have decide to create a more local newspaper story which will add to the local community feeling I like my newspaper to create.

I have decided to complete a tally chart on in which I will categories the different types of stories shown on the This is Bristol website. This will help to see what type of stories are seen as successful, and if I think it would be a good idea to follow or challlenge these conventions.
