Through doing my research and looking into different newspapers, i have noticed along the way they all seem to follow a simular trend with there layout. Examples of this are they all have one main story headline and then from this a main image featured in the centre of the page.

   From researching this, and knowing this way works for its audience and if it were to change i do not feel it would work as the majority of newspaper readers are older generations they dont suit as well to change. 

For the content and detail to a newspaper this layout works very well for a clear understanding and for all newspapers to stick to a simular layout for it to work.

Also I found in my research that depending on the content of the newspaper, it has a more appealing factor to middle aged  men and above i only found a small percentage of women would read it if it was left by the husband in the house . Than they older audience today due to common affairs intodays news.

 

 This is the questionnaire i have asked some friends the majority is family ranging from 18-50 +, from this i found the majority of newspaper readers where middle aged and upwards ( 36-55) and second to that was the 26-35 bearing this in mind i have chosen to aim my newspaper at an audience of just under middle age to above middle age. By doing this i shall have a range of stories varying from students results to the gromits scattered round bristol and new restaurants and offers in the local area of bristol portishead and nailsea. 

Also i found that more males read newspaper to women because of the sports pages which are usually located in newspaper however this tends to be found in the national newspapers than local. From this also there was a higher coverage in national newspapers than local.
