Wednesday 23rd January 2009


Today in class we looked at a university newspaper produced for the students that go there, this was called the sheaf, the website was www.thesheaf.com
as you can see to the left i have inserted the homepage of The Sheaf, they have split there newspaper into information and section B is more for entertainment.

The newspaper is written and edited by the students that go to the university too, also the payment comes out of the students tuition therefore they don't have to pay for it when it is issued.

this was to give us an insight into what we could include in both our preliminary task and the main one.

i also realised that time is very important, and to make sure that i try and get some new information every time i do work so that it is not wasted.

We then had to get into groups and make a pitch for a students magazine/newspaper, this helped us think of things that our target audience would be interested in and what we would include.

we will be showing our pitch to the rest of the class on Friday 23rd Jan 09.

  1. How do you think your pitch went? Anything that worked well? Anything you want to change?

    It might be a good idea to link to The Sheaf's website so you have easy access in the future. Perhaps even display some images?

    A good start!

    P.S.: Could you change your background colour? My poor old eyes can't cope!
