The Pitch










The Pitch

Proposal:

I am considering the local newspaper option, as I studied newspapers for the AS exam, so I think that I might be quite good at undertaking the newspaper option, as I already have an understanding of the subject and I enjoy watching the news and occasionally reading a broadsheet such as “The Times”.

Pitch:

Out of the two options the most likely one will be the newspaper, I‘d like to create a broadsheet paper and have it be based on world stories, national stories, local stories, business, sport, culture, and a touch of celeb gossip – however not too much as it could get labelled as being a tabloid and that is not my intention. The target audience would be aimed at socio-economic groups “C1” to “E”, and an age group of 16 to 50.

 

Inspirational Texts:

The Times is a British daily  national newspaper, it consists of stories on world news, national, business, sport, culture, celeb gossip, technology etc. It has a target audience of socio-economic code ABC1, and an age range of 25-55.



 


The I is tabloid size and stapled, which consists of 56 pages per issue. The paper contains articles on news, business and sports—small paragraphs of information which are expanded upon in full articles further on in the paper. It has a target audience of socio-economic code C1C2D, and an age range of 17-35.


 
 
 
 

 
The Guardian is a British daily national newspaper, it consists of stories on world news, national, business, sport, culture, celeb gossip, technology etc. It has a target audience of socio-economic code ABC1, and an age range of 25-55.









 







My Product:

I will need to take into consideration all of my options; that would include everything from how often the paper will be published, what agencies will be
used, the font, the colour scheme, layout, the name of the paper, whether it will have a cost – or be a free paper and have multiple advertisments.

I also have to think about these options for the website; the layout, colour scheme etc, also whether or not a customer will be charged to access the website for free or not, or if they only get a summarised story if they don’t pay.

I will have to consider subscriptions whether it will be linked to the website or if it is only for the paper, his conflict with the price (if any) of the paper.
