Ideas for Newspaper

Today we came up with a list of idea for things we could put in our newspaper. Here is a list of basically all the ones we came up with. A few were removed for just being silly:

A 'Dear Mike' Section. As we only have one issue, nobody will have the chance to write in, but we could always get the questions from students beforehand and come up with the answers for the print.

Criss Cross/Wordsearches/Crosswords - Always fun, but have to media related, which could be a bitch.

Wikipedia Game - Could be difficult to make it educational, but i've started to write up a first draft.

Past Exam Questions and Revision Tips - easy enough, but we have to get them from somewhere and get permission to use them, i would assume.

Student and Teachers Voice Section - Chance for students and teachers tohave their say on the courses and work they have to do (?)

History of the Internet - Good idea, but i'm not sure how relevant it will be for our exam.

How Twitter Saved a Country - No idea, but Loz seems to think it's true

Videos for the Blind - Someone came up with this idea, apparently forgetting newspapers can't play video.

Photos of Students Working - Someone knows how to party.. Maybe in an article but stand-alone this shouldnever be included..

Home Made 3D Cinema - If you can get this to work go nuts. Could be fun.

Comic Strip/Photostory of a Media Student - Doesn't sound marvellous so far but whatever

Competitions - Would be good to see if we got anyone to actually respond, but ultimately we don't have anything to give away.

Timelines - I assume of the history of media and stuff

Red Bull - Something about a giveaway. Left in because could just say we can ask them for advertising. Several companies could benefit from adverts in a thing like this.

Pub Quiz - I assume just a quiz will do as i am NOT renting out a pub..

Technological Revolution and Future of Technology - Can just steal stuff from the Gadget Show for this, they're about as up-to-date as you're going to get.

Fact or Fiction - A bunch of myths/rumours about media stuff. We have to find some, i suppose..

Gorillaz - Band. Write about them?

Nick Character Profile - Wonderful idea, not necessarily helpful for other classes though

Sleep Revision - Can listening to revision tapes in your sleep help you to learn?

Exam Outlines - What is expected of you in the exam?

Media Llamas - Again, love it, but it has to stick to the topic.

Colour by Media Words - Like colour by Numbers but more relevant

Interactive Items - Again, a newspaper - not sure how this would work?

Keep language informal like in other teen magazines like game magazines and stuff

Get advertising from people
