Research- Website

Within my research, I choose to look at an few newspaper website as within our task we have to create two hyperlinks web pages for our new local newspaper. I have decided to look at three different local newspaper website-

The News Guardian - Whitley Bay local newspaper

News Post Leader - Blyth local newspaper

Evening chronicle- Local newspaper for the North Tyneside

All the websites above are local newspaper for North Tyneside. The News Guardian and the News Post Leader are both free local newspaper, one for Whitley Bay and the another one for Blyth, whilst the Evening Chronicle is based on Newcastle and Sunderland and cost.


The websites also include many adverts for local business within the same area as the newspaper itself. the adverts that are on the website are also included within the newspaper as well. Most of the money for the News Guardian come from the advertising, which allowed it to become an free newspaper. Even though it is an free newspaper, it is still able to be brought if you are not able to get it delivered free.


Within all three of the websites above their layout are similar to each other, as they all included 6 columns and by looking at other newspaper websites, it seems that many of the newspaper websites included 6 columns.


The colour schemes on the websites are similar to the mast heading on the newspaper itself. The website include more colour then the black and white printed newspaper itself. The website carry out the same colour scheme throughout the site, and keep an similar style on all pages. The News Guardian and the News Post Leader both have the same colour scheme and style as they are joined companies.


From looking at the websites above and another websites, i started to get an basic understanding of what an newspaper such look like. I have decided that within my website pages i will have an fix colour scheme that will link to my newspaper itself but also included only 6 columns, to try to keep it as similar as an real newspaper website.
