Newspaper Analysis

Name Of Newspaper: Hindustan Times
Place Of Publication: Pune/METRO
Price Of Newspaper: Rs 3.00
Date of Publication: 31 July 2018

  • What did I find out about the organisation and template of the newspaper:- 

  • Did not find anything new below the title of the newspaper
  • The newspaper is 16 pages with 4 pages supplement
  • The left column of 1st page consists of short stories and weather forecast
  • There is an anchor of column width 3 on the 1st page
  • There are 2 infographics on the 1st page
  • Editorial Page:
  1. The left hand column had the newspaper name and slogan like other two newspapers (The Hindu; Indian Express)
  2. In my newspaper there were two editorials on the left hand corner. Both stories were 2 paragraphs each.
  3. In the Indian Express there are 3 stories instead of 2. There is a lot of space given between each story which is absent in my newspaper. Although, without extra spacing, my newspaper’s layout seemed clear and easy to reader. Hence, the spacing in Indian Express looked like waste of space to me.
  4. The Letter to editor section acts like an anchor in Hindustan Times’ editorial page. 
  5. While Indian express and The Hindu had a caricature of the writers on the top left of each story, Hindustan Times had normal pictures. I believe the caricature made the newspaper look more visually appealing. 
  6. The Indian Express had bold lines and use of different colours to emphasise on division and significant lines. That looked convenient to me. As Hindustan Times still was able to make its layout stand out without the use of colours and bold lines.
  7. The alignment used in my paper is justified. I think that makes the content looks more formal and clear. The Hindu had aligned to left. That alignment lead to wastage of space.

Watch-out for these designer bags!

 By Shalini Sinha Handbags to pick and prick Handbags are that one essential accessory in our wardrobe that needs to be carried with all outside looks. If you are going out, you need to carry a handbag. Just not any handbag but also the one that compliments and personifies your look. Handbags can be tricky as they come in various sizes, colors, and designs. But at times it so happens that, we just do not know what does and what does not. But one way to make your look trendy in fall 2019 is by seeing what is in and what is out. Designer handbags cost a handful, so it is better to not fall for something that is outmoded or soon going to be outmoded. So let's see what is in and out in the pockets.   After yesterday's evening dedicated to handbags, Lakme Fashion Week 2019 has given red and green signals to a lot of designer bags. From what I personally took as hints are what I share with you in this blog. If there is a particular bag that you really like, the...

Layout- The Hindu: editorial

Shalini Sinha   10th September 2019 Proff Kiran Thakur   Principles of Newspaper Editing     The Hindu- Editorials   The Amazon fires, an alarm that lacks proportion T. Jayaraman and Kamal Murari  The effect of deforestation can be repaired slowly. Fossil Fuel emissions cannot be put back into where it came from.   The upsurge of global environmental anxiety over the recent spate of forest fires in the Amazon, apparently marking a renewed push to deforestation, is clearly testimony to the heightened awareness of the danger to human security represented by global warming. The provocatively anti-environmental and climate denial views of Brazil’s President, Jair Bolsonaro, and his colleagues, the reining in of environmental controls if not disabling them, the President’s initial air of unconcern, and his absurd counter-allegations regarding the causes, have all contributed to exacerbating this anxiety. Predictably, this has d...
