Front Page
1. -An advertisement for Ritchie's 8' x 7' R-14 insulated steel garage door as low as $348. (Bottom of the page).
- An index of the newspaper listing what sections and pages that certain stories are on. (Along the side of the page).
- Weather forecast. (Top corner).
- The date. (At the top under the title of the newspaper).
2. The headline of the most important story is "Buckle your seat belt".
3. A) The story that I would remove from the front page in order to make room if necessary, I would take out the piece called "Plane purchase flies in face if budget cuts, argues Volpe" because it does not seem as important as the other issues because it's smaller and to the side more, and kind of just squished in. The title as well is written in a way smaller font than the others, which strikes me as not as important as the other stories.
B) The story that I would cut from the front page from the choices given on the handout would be the story about the Prime Minister going on a ski trip over the weekend. I would cut this one because it doesn't have as big of an effect than the rest of the stories, and doesn't seem as hard-hitting front page news material.
4. The three pictures for the stories (listed in question #3) that I would put on the front page would be; "A Canadian athlete sets world high jump record at Athens Olympics", "Forest fires cause great damage in Northern Ontario" and "Postal are set to strike". I chose these 3 because they seem far more important than the rest, and they seem like something you could actually catch a picture of.
Hard News Stories
"Local man accused of shooting his brother to death"
1. The reporter is Don MacPherson.
2. The source of the story is the RCMP and people involved.
3. I think the reporter got the information from evidence given out by the RCMP and the people involved who were interviewed about the crime.
4. I find that the reporter focusses on the facts and evidence in the situation. I find that the reporter is not being biased, but being logical and informative.
5. Yes, I think the reporter should do a follow up on the story to follow up on the case and keep people informed as to what happens to the accused brother in court, if he is found guilty, is there new evidence found yet? Is the evidence that was in the article all that the police have to go on? I am left with questions for the future and I think other audiences would like to be kept informed.
6. "After a 20-hour standoff Nash gave himself up to the police."- Don MacPherson.
7. -"Local man accused of shooting his brother to death"
- The lead of the article is Adam Wade Nash. He is charged with first-degree murder of his brother Gordon Stephen Nash in October 31, 2006. Adam is accused of allegedly shooting his brother to death in a wooded area east of Taymouth. After allegedly shooting his brother, Adam barricaded himself in his Kingsley Road home, after Gordon's body was found just off the Zionville Road by the RCMP, after a 20-hour standoff Adam gave himself up to the police.
Opinion
"Try fighting poverty, not war"
1. This opinion is being offered by Naveed Majid.
2. The writer seems informed about their side of the topic that they are opinionated about, but not the other side.
3. No, the writer does not back up their statement with factual facts.
4. I find that the writer is trying to appeal to both. The writer is trying to appeal to reason by being logical and reasonable. Then the writer is trying to appeal to emotion by writing about a topic that has very many emotional attatchments.
5. People who live in poverty could possibly benefit if this general idea was to be further considered.
Sports
1. 52.63% Of the sports stories are written by Daily Gleaner reporters.
2. There are 19 stories in the sports section.
3. "Tremblay applies to finish to V-Reds' comeback"- Competitor vs. Competitor, the V-Reds had to struggle to win against the Saint Mary's Huskies. Competitor vs. Official- The V-Reds had to go into over time, they needed more time than the official 60 minutes of game time.
4. A & B & C) "Bent out of shape". Competitor vs. Competitor- Saint Mary's Huskies defenceman Travis Chapman checks Varsity Reds player Hunter Tremblay into boards in an awkward position. Also, it would be Competitor vs. Official Regulations because the V-Reds forced Saint Mary's into over the regulated 60 minutes.
D) This conflict would not affect anyone else not involved.
