1. What do you like the best about this newspaper? Why? Choose 3.
- I like this news paper because it's not just about local news. It also includes sports from a national level. I like that in a newspaper because I can read it and know what is going on not just around me, but around the world. Also, the stories are always interesting because they get to the point and make you think, they aren't trying to sway you into thinking one thing.
- Also, I like how the newspaper leaves area for letters from their audience to write in their opinions. This appeals to many people because they get to have a say and feel like their voice is being heard.
- Finally, what I like the most about the newspaper is that I am informed, that I feel like i can trust this newspaper, and that I feel like I can trust that I am getting all the facts. They haven't been wrong before, which therefore makes them trustworthy.
2. What do you dislike about this newspaper? Why? Choose 3.
- There aren't many things that I don't like about this newspaper, so it is hard to find 3. But I would have to say one of my biggest pet-peeves about this newspaper is that it does not include female high school sports, and when it does, it butchers the the team that gets beat. I would like it if they featured a piece about the Oromocto High School LAdy Blues Hockey Team, and not feature us just loosing 10-0, but how many shots we face in a game and how we are building a team after a severe loss of players last year.
- finally, the last thing i don't like about this newspaper is how complicated it is to open and put back together again. But that is a problem with all newspapers, not just specifically this one. I, personally, think reading should be easy. Easy to get to the story you want without having to unfold and refold a million times to get to it, i know the newspaper is on a budget and they are trying to make it as easy as possible already for us to read it, but some staples would be nice.
3. Who is the target audience for this newspaper? Teens? Adults?
- I believe that the target audience of this newspaper is local residence. People who live in Fredericton, Oromocto, etc. I think that we are the target regardless of the age. The newspaper has many different things in it that could appeal to many different ages, like sports for teenagers, or local realistate for adults. Also, I find that if the story in the newspaper occurs locally, then you're more likely to want to read it.
4. What do you notice about the language used in the newspaper?
- I noticed that the language in this newspaper is more like proper English. I find that everything is put into a very understanding way, it's not too deep into proper English that is unrecognizable, but in a way that even an uneducated person could read and make sense of it. It is very basic.
5. What do you notice about the text?
6. How much of the newspaper is made up of ads? What types of ads?
- On the bottom of every page there is an inch thick section for advertisements. Also there are about 2 full pages dedicated to advertisements.
7. What section(s) do you read first when you read the newspaper?
- When I first read the newspaper, I always read the big stories with the main pictures on the first page. Then I usually scower the sports section to see how the high school and university sports are going.
8. What section(s) do you skip?
- The section(s) I usually skip would be the realistate section because I am too young to be looking for my own place. I also skip the t.v guide because I have satellite, and that doesn't appeal to me.
9. What articles do you find most interesting? Why? Choose 3.
- I find articles about things that are going on in my local area interesting because I being informed about thing that are going on in my imidiate area. Also, I like the opinion pieces because I love hearing people voice thier opinions because it opens my mind to more than just one way of looking at things. Finally, I love the sports sections because I love sports!<3
