The Letter:
FYJ
The Federation of Young Journalists
26 April 2010
Dear Student,
As you may know, the FYJ is an organisation set up to connect young people to the important social and political issues of the day.
The newspaper industry faces some serious problems:
- Newspaper circulation is declining
- The average age of a newspaper reader is over 55
- Newspapers have failed to engage with the 15 – 24 year old demographic.
We believe that newspapers have lost touch with young people. The needs of the youth audience are largely ignored by the Popular Press, and when young people are featured, they are often represented in a negative way.
The FYJ wants to recruit a dynamic media team to connect young people to the news. We are looking for enthusiastic young journalists with exciting ideas, who understand the needs of a youth audience, and can see how the Popular Press can use digital technology.
Your proposals need to include ideas that appeal to both genders. It is also important that you aim to represent people and events fairly and realistically.
Remember we are working to a tight deadline so keep your ideas concise and to the point.
Good Luck,
T Lloyd
Questions:
Q1) Show us what you know about the Popular Press
Examine two current newspapers from the Popular Press. What are the key features of their on-line and print based formats? Explain how each appeals to its target audience.
Your analysis needs to be based on two newspapers that are each targeted at a different readership.
Q2) As you know, newspaper circulation is in decline. Referring only to changes in the past ten years, explain how the popular press has tried to boost circulation.
How do you think the Popular Press will evolve in the future?
In you answer you need to respond to both parts of the question and include examples where appropriate.
Q3) The aim of the FYJ is to connect young people with the important social and political issues of the day.
Choose a current newspaper from the Popular Press and give us your ideas for its weekend youth section. We would like you to produce ideas for both print based and on-line format.
Tell us which newspaper you chose and explain how your ideas will appeal to a 15-24 year old market. Show how your print and on-line versions might link with each other.
Remember your proposals need to be appropriate to the newspaper for which you are writing, and your ideas need to appeal to both genders, with a focus on real news. You may wish to include sketches.
Q4) Now it is your opportunity to use your knowledge and understanding of the newspaper websites and to show us what your ideas look like.
