Transcript of Analysis 3
Daniel Morris Newspaper Front Cover Analysis
A competition in the upper corner is
highlighted in red, with bold and
capital text – drawing plenty of
attention.
The first word used is “Win” instantly
attracting readers to this section as
everybody likes to win.
The masthead is rather large, on a par
with or slightly smaller than the main
Article Headline. This is a good thing
as many regular newspaper readers
choose their paper based off which
newspaper company wrote it. With
the Masthead so large, this will attract
many readers. I also like the way in
with the website and price of the
paper has been worked around the
Masthead.
A very shocking and distressing Main
Article Headline has been used to pull
on the heartstrings of potential
readers. This has been constructed in
a way to engage readers emotionally,
making them want to find out more
about the tragic story. – Especially
those involving death and loss.
The Headline itself is in a very large
font, possibly slightly bigger than the
Masthead. It is in a bold white,
drawing attention from far away.
The images used suit the story’s
Headline very well, a clearly upset
woman seemingly fighting back the
tears conveys a very strong sense of
pain and distress. The image below of
a baby is not a happy one, this keeps
in with the flow of the Article. The
way in which the two images overlap
represents a clear connection
between the two, urging potential
readers to find out more about the
connection and why they are
serious/saddening pictures.
We can clearly tell the emphasis on
stories throughout the front page as
there are no clear advertisements;
only one competition is included.
There are multiple short introductions to articles placed throughout the paper,
including a contents bar stretching across the entire bottom of the page.
I like this as it adds a certain amount of information about this particular paper
before a reader has even turned a page.
