WEEK 10

My headline  is 'TEENAGER  DIAGNOSED WITH AIDS AT AGE 13' I decided to choose this headline beacuse the picture i took relates to this  headline,because the image below as you can see ,the female looks quite ill and sad,so it connotes with the headline.

Here is picture of how i have layed out my newspaper,the leadline is in black and background,white because from my questionaire,alot of people preferred the black and white theme and also all newspaer are black and white,and any other colour,would make my newspaper looked unrealistic and unproffessional as to how a newspaper article should look

My article is about a young teenager who has been diagnosed with aids,and is surviving through medication,which has resorted to her loosing her younger sibling,because they are now in care homes.the reason being is because her mother is unable to take care of them,for she is blind,so it is not reasonable or sensible to put more burden onto the mother.
.

This is my article :

"Charlie Smith aged 12 is the youngest child to be diagnosed with AIDS .She has been giving few medications that she is using now, as the disease has spread around her cells that she can barely walk, or move. A source said she admitted that she slept with men from age 10 so she could put food on the table for her blind mum and two younger siblings. Her mum was interviewed and admitted to be aware of the job her daughter was taking part in, she argued she had try to stop her, but there was so much she could do for a blind person like her could do.

But Charlie, is facing a very epic moment right now, because the doctors said “gradually she would become to loose some of her hair” also the fact she has a low immune system, she is at high risk of surviving of the medication she has been prescribed. This sad message has caused her mother to be depressed and who is currently sick at the moment. Therefore, they are left with no other option than to put the two young siblings in care."

My article as you can see is fairly short,as to other types of newspaper article thisi is because in my content page ,my article is quite long and in depth,but on  a different story. so it would be more reasonable to have one long story,rather than two long stories.
theres has also been some changes so that the layout of my article meets the convention of a local newspaper.  For example starting of a newspaper with block capitals ,so that it draws readers attention,also from researching 'daily mail 'i found out they use block capitals to start of thier articles.also researching other articles you barely come acroos an artcile that the lead headline starts in lower case.
