Hello all,

I will link you to the Starhighan Post's latest newspaper. Its unedited and I'm sorry but it'll have to do. Oh and its the lite version.

Here is the Starhighan Post's website too. Click on here.


Thanks for reading.

Please leave a comment telling me how good you think it was.

Use some more pictures.

It's not a bad start, but it could seriously use some improvement:

(1) It really doesn't read like a newspaper should. Articles should be relatively formal or at least detached, have no grammatical or spelling errors, and be fairly long and detailed. For example, the article on Stardom really didn't provide any in-depth information about how it works, just a brief overview of the intensity of each stage of fighting. The economic article was extremely vague and generic.
(2) You really shouldn't take pictures from Google. Not only might you not have the rights to the picture you take, but you should use actual pictures from your own nation, not stock photos. If you don't have photographic documentation of the events you're reporting on, then don't illustrate them at all.
(3) The newspaper doesn't look at all like much effort was put into it; it doesn't adhere to general newspaper guidelines, as I detailed in #1, for one. The front page is just the title in WordArt and a stock photo from Google.
(4) Why would you release a "lite version"? You should just make a single edition with all of the features of the newspaper. To be honest, it kind of sounds like an excuse for the poor overall quality of the paper.

Hope this helps!

Thank you very much for this feedback. I am sure to use it. It has been a great help. But the lite version is not an excuse though and I did put a lot of effort into it. I am learning more about computers and that wasn't an edited copy either. But thanks.

Well, there's always room for improvement! It looks good for a start, just keep persevering and you'll make a great newspaper!

It's definitely good, but to be a Real newspaper, it's needs pictures, quotes, and different perspectives on the issues. But it's definitely already great!!!!!
