The Sheaf has been the University of Saskathewan student's newspaper since 1912 and has distinct features that I will use, that I didn't think of before.
It's distribution is weekly, however, I think weekly would be a bit too much for a magazine at school, therefore I am considering distributing my magazine fortnightly.
In this newspaper, it included campus chat, which was very entertaining, in mine it would have to be different, involving the students as it is a younger age.
An opinion poll was another idea I came up with whilst looking at this newspaper online.
Advice pages would be good for students in sixth form, helping people coping with stress and for people to write in, also letters to the editor would be good.
I also read that The Sheaf has a policy, which I would include in my magazine.
Today's lesson was extremely useful in learning about this newspaper, and although it is a newspaper it has helped me understand what students want, and what content would be good to include in my magazine.
A good start, Abbey!
ReplyDeleteRemember, this is all practice right now so try new things. I would like to see you use hyperlinks and images in your blog. Why not include an image of the front page of The Sheaf? Or an image of one of the articles you mention? Instead of just writing down the website, make it into a link to the page.
