Conclusion
Newspapers should have a very specific format, as I will try to explain below.
Front PageIt will be most likely that the article you will be writing will be on the front page of your newspaper. If this is the case, then before actually writing the article, try to keep in mind some things on the format of your front page:
"Inside": On the top of the page should be the "Inside" banner, also known as the "Refer". This will give notice to other articles that cn be found in the paper. It is shown as a rectangular box at the top of the page, with two or three "Ads" for other articles in the paper.
Refer:
After the Refer is the title of the newspaper. A good font for this is the old english script style, or this:
Good things to have in the title are words like, "Times", "Press", "Herald", or "News". Having a mascot before any of those, or the city from where the newspaper is from, is a good idea. An example of a good title is the "Durem News Herald".
Below the title should be the Volume, Number, City, Date, and Price of the newspaper, all arranged in one line, with spaces between them. Ex.:
Volume II No. 5 Los Angeles 4/6/07 25cents
Finally, below all that, should be the Front page Headline, or the main article. The headline (or title of the article) should be centered, in font Arial, Bold, and size 26.
Below that, in size 12, italics, Times New Roman, give the names of the people who are writing the article.
Ex.:
By: [Person1], [Person2], and [Person3]In the actual article, the whole thing should be arranged in several columns, 2 and a half inches wide (use the ruler on your word processor). Font should Times New Roman, size 12.
Pictures can be arranged however you like, with the words around them. They can be at the top, below the headline, or in the middle, with the columns arranging themselves around.
