Overall these results have given me ideas that will help me create my newspaper. The audience
will use this newspaper to divert them from their own lives and give them time to relax and read
about something else. The results show there will be different types of stories in my newspaper.
One of the main types of stories chosen was celebrity gossip. This is because the audience will
want to relate to the people they are reading about. There will also be an equal amount of text and
images used in the newspaper, the audience can interpret the images how they feel they apply to
the stories. The headlines of the stories also allow the readers to decode what the story may be
about.
