What’s
on a Front Page
Does anyone have a newspaper at home, does you family
take a newspaper? Which one? The Sun. We happen
to have The Sun here, so let's just have a look
at The Sun for a minute. What kind of newspaper
is it? Anybody know what this is called? What kind
of newspaper? It’s called a... "tabloid".
Very good, it’s called a tabloid. What's this
here (pointing)? It's called a mask head, and they're
also called red-top papers because, can you guess
why? Red at the top, yes. What have you got on a
tabloid page, what are the elements? What's this
(pointing)? Is it called the picture? Or do we call
it an image. We're looking at what you get on a
front page, we're going to come back to this at
the end. What's this? "Headline". What's
this (pointing)? It's information, between the headline
and the story - it's about the story, so we call
it the sub-head. What's this, it says by Victoria
Newton. What do you call that by thing? It's called
a 'by line'.
And there's this thing here - no not a sub-heading,
but good guess. What does it do? It's a teaser,
it's called a strap, and the strap gives you the
information on what the story is, in this case 'Paris
out of jail after 3 days' that's the information,
whereas the headline is more like a joke. So you've
got the strap, the headline, the subhead, the by
line, the story, the image, and also, what's this
little nit of writing here, under the picture, what's
this called? It’s describing the picture,
isn't it? Do you know what that's called? We describe
the picture in a..."caption". So you’ve
got all these elements on your front page. We're
going to do a front page with Margarita Maltash. |
