263 Newspapers for NEA A newspaper NEA brief will tell you who the paper is aimed at, which pages or features you are creating, and probably something about the articles and photographs you need to create. Start by looking at the conventions of these features, the minimum word count and the number of photographs specified in the brief, so you know exactly what you are expected to do. If you need to choose if the newspaper is to be a local paper, freesheet, tabloid or broadsheet, this is the first decision to make. This will help you to decide on a mode of address and a conventional layout that you can start from. Most newspapers, whatever their format, foreground one news story on their front page, giving it the biggest headline and most space. They will also tend to feature one main image on the front, but this may be connected to another story entirely. The broadsheets often also carry other smaller stories on the front page. Each newspaper has its own house style, which will cover everything from the fonts used, the size of the headlines and the number of columns across the page, to the use of white space and section headings throughout the newspaper. Each newspaper has also adopted its own mode of address, which governs how it ‘talks’ to its audience – the style of written language used. Look also at the Print codes section in Chapter 1, pages 18–26. Link Look in both Chapter 1 and Chapter 5 for more information on the conventions of newspapers. Link Look at these front pages of the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mirror , and identify the features that make them similar – the conventions of newspapers generally – and the features that make them different. Which of these are the conventions of tabloids and broadsheets, and which are down to the house style of the specific newspaper? Activity 6.31 &Z .'

David Cameron announced his res- ignation as Prime Minister yesterday morningafterBritainvotedto leavethe European Union, sparking a political, economicandconstitutionalcrisis. Within hours of the surprise result, Mr Cameron made his statement in Downing Street, the Bank of England intervened in the financialmarkets to prevent a crash and the Scottish gov- ernment threatened to hold another referendum on splitting from the rest of theUnitedKingdom. In a statesmanlike address from the Vote Leave headquarters,Mr Johnson positionedhimself as aprimeminister inwaiting by urging unity across the nation and speaking of the bright fu- ture thatnow awaits an outward-look- ingBritain. “Iwant to speak to themil- lionsofpeoplewhodidnotvote for this outcome,especiallyyoungpeoplewho may feel that thisdecision insomeway involves pulling up the drawbridge or any kind of isolationism. I think the veryopposite is true. “To those who may be anxious at home or abroad, this does not mean that theUKwillbe inanyway lessunit- ed,nor indeeddoes itmean that itwill beany lessEuropean.” He added: “We cannot turn our backs on Europe.We are part of Eu- rope.Our children and grandchildren will continue to have awonderful fu- ture as Europeans, travelling to the continent,understanding the languag- es and cultures thatmakeupour com- monEuropeancivilisation.” It is now expected thatMr Johnson will stand as leader,withMrGove, the Justice Secretary,becoming theChan- cellor ina“BrexitGovernment”, sourc- esclaimed. George Osborne couldwork along- side the pair after it emerged that he made overtures towardsMr Johnson, sending an olive branch textmessage in the early hours yesterday following the shock victory by the Leave cam- paign. It came on a day described as the most sensational in the recent history ofBritishpolitics. As thefinancialmarketscrashed toa 30-year low,NicolaSturgeon, theScot- tish FirstMinister, said a second inde- pendence referendum was “highly likely”and therewerecalls foraunited Ireland afterboth Scotland andNorth- ern Ireland voted to Remain against theprevailingnationalmood. After a night of tensionwhich saw theBrexitcampaign scoremajorvicto- ries across middle England and the north, it became clear shortly after dawn thatMr Cameron was going to resign. At8.15amhegaveaspeech inDown- ing Street, flanked by hiswife Saman- tha,who appeared tearful as her hus- bandsaid itwas“inthenational interest to have a period of stability and then thenew leadership required”. Sources close toMr Johnson say he was left “extremelyupset”byMrCam- eron’s resignation and “felt personally responsible” as he watched an emo- tionalMrCameron tell thenation that hewasno longer therightperson tobe “the captain that steers our country to itsnextdestination”. WhileMr Cameron calledMrGove beforemaking his resignation speech, hepointedlydeclined tomake contact with Mr Johnson, only replying to a textmessage sent later in themorning by the formerLondonmayor.
