R- I am trying to represent the youths of Bromley through my newspaper. I think that the stereotype for teenagers is unfair as the small percentage of teenagers that are criminals and thugs make all the majority of teenagers look bad. My paper will show people that they can be proud of teenagers and it will show what the local teens have achieved as well as showing teenagers the news and what is happening in there community.

V- To make my paper successful I am going to follow the more widely known papers conventions. I am using many conventions from 'The Sun' newspaper as this is a working class aimed paper. Therefore the colours and themes of the paper is very playful and easy to navigate. This would be perfect to use for my paper as it is aimed at teenagers so therefore would have to be fun to attract the target audience.
A- The target audience for my newspaper is from 13-19 mainly as I want it to be fun and appealing to teenagers. This doesn't mean that the paper rules out other ages, as they may want to find out what teenagers in their societies are doing. I will use bright, vibrant colours to attract teenagers and also interesting photographs. The stories will be based around teenagers so therefore other youths will want to read about them.
L- I will use a big bold 'fun' font for the title of the newspaper so that youths are attracted to it. I am using the colour theme blue and red because it represents Britain and also the fact that red represents bad, and blue represents a more calm collective type. This is significant to the newspaper as it is showing good things that has happened to the youth and also bad. We also didn't want to make the paper just black and white as it would not look very appealing to teenagers.
I- My ideology is to show that youths can make positive contributions to the community that they belong. This would hopefully attract people to read the newspaper as it shows that not all youths are the stereotypical 'thug'.
N- The newspaper will be laid out so that people can continuously read through it without having to think much. The same theme will run mostly through every single story. The theme of 'teenagers doing good things'.
G- This will be a local newspaper, showing what is happening in the local community. Therefore the photos and text has to be relevant to the local community. For example we are using a story about a young boy who has won the Great Britain boxing title. People will be interested by this story as the young boy is from the local community
