During this assignment, we first set out to get newspapers. I asked around the people in my accommodation for the newspapers they read and found that only newspapers A, B and C were read by most people.
While doing the assignment, we sat in groups and evaluated the articles of various newspapers. In some stories, for example crime stories, it was very easy to find the 5W and 1H, and it was covered in the first paragraph itself. This was not the case in all the stories and I understood that every story is written in a different way, and meant to highlight different aspects of the story.
By evaluating different newspapers, I also understood that every newspaper has a different advertisement to news ratio.
Newspaper A- 21 ads in 16 pages
Newspaper B- 21 ads and 3 government campaigns in 16 pages
Newspaper C- 6 ads in 24 pages
Thus, every newspaper follows its policy for deciding the specifications.
