How I Will Be Using The Generic Conventions Of Local Newspapers

Layout- Simple and Compact
- Articles laid into columns - Big Headings with smaller Sub Headings
- Little or no bright colours

Mode Of Address-
- Language - Informative and descriptive layered into stories (When, what, who when why in the first paragraph)
- Tone - Friendly (more so than a national or international newspaper) due to the nature of the stories

Content- Local events and news. Ranging from Campaigns for local thing e.g. charity run etc to car crashes in the local area.

Pictures- Of subjects displaying the emotion portrayed in the story
- None or little editing, no visual effects

Advertisement- Local Business, Services and events - Normally not big national companies etc. - Take up a high proportion of the newspaper to pay for the running costs.
- No space on the page wasted, anything spare is filled by adverts.
