2. Introduction
• Here we have produced a piece which is listing and
describing the conventions of TV listings magazine
articles. We have labelled an existing TV article to
address the knowledge we currently have.
3. Main image – Purpose of the main image is to
grab the readers attention so that they are
aware of who features in the article. Here an
image of the food and the celebrity herself is
shown A reason for this is to make a bold
statement to the readers so that they know
what the article is about and also the program.

establishes the start of
the article and is a way of
recognising magazine
articles because of its
common use. The colour
of the drop cap makes
the page look attractive
and appealing as it
matches with the lime
green at the top of the
page.
Minor images – The
images are used to
inform the reader a
bit of background of

used to give an insight
to the TV program

airing.

most articles. This usually informs viewers off

capture the attention of the reader to show
that the article is about famous Roald Dahls
daughter.

layout the write has gone
for a three column

articles has been
followed. This is a typical
layout used in articles to
make it easier for the
readers to take in.
By line – The use of this
credits the photographer for
capturing the photos used in
the article. It is usually the
smallest text on the page
and it is a way of promoting
and recognising the
photographers work. In this
case it is on the right hand
side in small print making it
less noticeable.
