Draft themes for car crash.

18 YEAR OLD BOY DIES IN SPEEDING COLLISION ON GEORGE STREET

TWO cars were involved in a collision on George street in Ryde early yesterday morning (Wednesday) at about 4am. A blue BMW and a red Renault Megane were involved. There was severe damage to both the cars, especially the Renault which was smashed in the side by the BMW that was speeding well over the 30mph speed limit.
Paul,34, owner of the BMW had major injuries and Mark,18, owner of the Renault, died in the accident. It has been understood that he died instantly and was not in pain. Paul is now in St Mary's hospital suffering from major petrol burns and a fractured spine.
Mark's parents have told the press how much of a wonderful person Mark was and that it has not sunk in that they have lost their only child, words cannot describe the pain that they are going through.
Many people have paid their respects by laying flowers on the side of the road where it happened, his parents have told Island Times how much they appreciate everyones respect.
Head Teacher of Leighmore High School, Susan Hunter, told Island Times that Mark was a 'committed and loveable student with many friends and always willing to help out around the school. "Mark was always so helpful and kind to all of the fellow students. He had a heart of gold and was known for cheering his friends up when they were feeling down. He was a very intelligent student and it is a massive loss to the school because schools need people like him to keep it a friendly place. Mark will be incredibly missed here at Leighmore High School and we will make sure that we do something to remember him by."
Students at Leighmore have made a 'memories' box where all of the students have posted letters of their memories about Mark. This box will then be given to his parents so that they can see how loved Mark was by others around them. The school has also made a memorial garden with Tulips which are Mark's favourite flowers. The students will all help water the plants and take care of them so pay respect to Mark. The students are hoping that this will make it a little bit easier for the parents to deal with losing their only son. Marks parents will announce his funeral date to his family and his school tomorrow morning.



ANOTHER STORY- MAN DIED IN HOSPITAL AFTER DRINK DRIVING.

Lyle Roberts,34 died in a Blue BMW that hit a telegraph pole in George Road, Somerset at 2am yesterday (Monday).
He was found with serious petrol burns and a broken neck, but after further treatment in hospital it was found that he had major bleeding of the brain and died soon after. Police are appealing for anyone who saw the crash to contact them for further investigation. It is now understood that Lyle Roberts was driving 40mh in the 20mph zone and had been drinking heavily before getting into his car. It is thought that if it had been in the day time then Lyle would have killed people walking in the street, but because it was so early there wasnt many people about.
Lyles wife Jane said that Lyle and herself had had a row a few hours before and blames herself for this happening. She agreed to talk to Island Times "I am so shocked. Lyle has never drink driven before, he is such a sensible man and would never have done something so stupid. I feel as though i am to blame because we had an argument before hand, that is the only reason i can think why he would have done this."
There have been flowers laid at the scene by family and friends to show there respect, Lyles friend Paul said "He must have been terribly upset to have gone and done such a stupid thing. We are all incredibly distraught and miss him very much and we are supporting Jane through this tragic time to try and help her cope better.

Draft Stories- motorcyclists crash

MOTORCYCLISTS CRASH LEAVES STUDENT DEAD AND ANOTHER PARALYSED.

FOUR motorbikes have been involved in a collision at Beeper Shoot in the early hours of Monday morning. Police spokesman said the road was very icy and the young motorcyclists were racing alot faster than the speed limit (50mph). One young man has been reported to have died and the other three are in hospital seriously injured, one with head injuries and another paralysed.
Marcus Hughes, 17, died instantly at around 8am on Monday morning after skidding on the road on his motorbike and crashing into his best friend Kyle Potter, who is now paralysed from the legs down. The road was completely blocked because of Ambulances and Police cars from the incident which happened at 2.25am.
The mother of 17 year old Marcus Hughes who passed away during the accident spoke out about the accident and told Police she had grounded her son the day before and was banned from using his motorbike, but she was unaware that he had left the house and, taken his motorbike, too. She says she is angry at herself for not taking his keys off him beforehand. She has lots of support from her friends and family to help her see through this traumatic experience.
Rumours have been heard about speed cameras being fitted in beeper shoot to cut down on speeding and accidents. It is thought that this will make a massive difference because people will not want to pay fines and hopefully they will see that the risk really isnt worth it.
Head Teacher of Carisbrooke High School Peter Smith said how much of a loss to the School this is as Marcus was a brilliant Grade A student and was very popular. "He brought happiness and laughter to the school and all of us at Carisbrooke High School are going to organise a book of pictures and memories which will be photocopied and everybody will get a copy to remember Marcus by".

Another Idea For The Layout Of My Newspaper

This is another idea of a draft of the layout. I like the layout of this as it looks neat and organised. I would be happy using either templates as they both look good.

I prefer the title on the other layout because it is bigger and would stand out more, however i think this layout is neater.

Rough Layouts For My Newspaper

This is a rough draft of my newspaper layout. It is quite typical of the standard newspaper layout, but i like the style of it so im going to keep it. I will make a few more drafts to compare to this layout but i am quite happy with this one! :)

I will have the title/name of the newspaper at the top, adverts and pictures of the adverts down the side, colourful and bold to attract peoples attention, my main story in the centre with a large title of the story and to the other side i will have a sort of contents part with a few of the other stories that are inside, and also the date, issue number, price and bar code.

Themes For Stories in My Newspaper-

I want to include serious, gritty stories in my newspaper, as i think these make the newspaper interesting and make someone want to pick a newspaper up.
Ideas i have come up with are:
1. House Fire
2. Car Accident/Crash
3. 'Lucky To Be Alive' stories
3. Stabbings
4. Robbery/Theft
5. Cancer/Illness
6. Rescues

The Isle of Wight County Press- Cover.

This is the cover of the Isle of Wight County Press from 2004. I was interested to see how much it has changed from the recent county press. It is very similar, but the price and date have moved on the 2010 County Press and 'contents inside' which is the strip along the top of the page is still te same. The front cover is very bold and it grabs your attention because of the colour and the large fonts.
It has the Date in the centre and the price in the top right hand corner. It also has adverts spread about the page advertising events and shops on the Island, also special offers.
The main story is about a death which is very bold and quite hard hitting which will attract someone to read the serious issue. There is a picture to the right of it which shows a road with flowers and cars going past.
To the left is a picture of three women sailing, with the story saying that they had won the Olympics.
I think that the County Press covers are interesting because of the colours and pictures, also the stories arent rediculously long so you dont get bored.

Type of Newspaper

My Newspaper is aimed at 16+ and will be slightly similar to the Isle of Wight County Press because its an Island magazine and will include Island news and entertainment, events, and sport.
The County Press is very popular Newspaper and is read by almost eveybody on the Island. People write in to the newspaper and post stories, birthdays, announcements etc. It is a weekly newspaper and mine will be weekly too, so each week there will be new events and stories.
My newspaper will have a main story on the front of the newspaper and also adverts and bold, large fonts that stand out and catch peoples attention so they want to buy the newspaper. I will include a price for my newpaper (70p), a bar code, date, issue copy and a main story on the front.
I asked a group of 10 people what the maximum amount of money they would be willing to pay for a newspaper is, i gave them the options 60p, 70p, 80p and 90p.
20% said 90p,
50% said 80p
20% said 70p and
10% said 60p

My newspaper is going to be 70p as i think that is a reasonable price for an Island newspaper.

Responses for Newspaper title

The two most popular names for my newspaper are Wight Weeky and Island Times. The most popular was Island Times and this is my favourite too because i like the sound of it! It will be aimed at 16+ and be about the Island and what is going on, also the latest news on the Island. I want the newspaper to include events and entertainment that are happening on the island which attract people to go there.

Ideas of names for my newspaper-

- Island News
- I Love Wight
- Islands Local News
- Wight Weekly
- Island Times
- The Wight Star
- Island Mirror
