Introduction

For my A2 media studies coursework i will be completing question eight in the specification in creating the first two pages of a local newspaper as well as a poster for the newspaper and two hyperlinked pages from its website. During this process i will research into popular stories featured in local newspapers as well as common attractive layouts. Looking at currently successful local newspapers such as the Halstead Gazette and the Sudbury Mercury will allow me to create a much more relevant example of effective local news coverage.
