after hearing more radio adverts, i have come up with another idea which is very different to my last advert as it is simpler. here is a draf script (there will be music too) i will get audience feedback as to which advert i should record.
The islands new local newspaper for teenagers: Island Eye
All the lastest news plus sports, competitions and giveaways!
Just 70p at all local newsagents, plus 30p of that goes to the youth opportunities fund.
Island Eye: straight to the point.

photos
One of my stories in my newspaper is about a group of teenagers who raised money for cancer research. I decided on having a picture of a girl holding a cheque. I'd like feedback on which photo is the best one to use, thanks.

3 poster ideas
Here are three possible ideas for my poster, please comment and say which you like best, also please give any suggestions on how to make them better, thanks.
News values which are relevant to my newspaper
Threshold - My main stories are on my front page as they are big events.
Composition - I have tried to have a good balance of negative and positive stories in my paper to make it a good read.
Actuality - I am using pictures in my paper to support my stories, for example, next to my story about a car crash, i have a photo of flowers placed by the road.
Recency - i have made sure that all my stories are current and have happened within the past week
These are the main ones but i do also use others. Some of the news values however are more relevant to national papers.

News values
I have done some research and found the criteria for 'newsworthy' stories that could be covered in my paper. Not all are relevant to a local newspaper and are more for national papers:
1. Frequency - the time span taken by the event
2. Threshold - the size of an event
3. Unambiguity - musn't be too simple or too complex
4. Meaningfullness - pretty self explanitory..
5. Correspondance - where the familiar is more likely to be thought important than the unfamiliar
6. Unexpectedness - Where the rarity of an event which leads to it's circulation in the public domain
7. Continuity - where there is already a running story that the paper has previously covered e.g. the madeline mccann story
8. Compisition - A good balance of stories, for example, if there is a lot of negative stories, there will also be some good ones to balance it out
9. Reference to elite nations - e.g. elections, natural disatsers and wars etc.
10. Reference to elite persons - Anyone famous or powerful that is connected to a news story.
11. Personalisation - events that are often seen as the actions of people as individuals.
12. Negativity - 'bad news'
13. Actuality - evidence of pictures
14. Recency - freshness and immediacy of the story

Radio advert research
I've been doing some research on radio adverts and here are a few that i like, i will take elements from them when creating my advert
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-xdTrL9Jiw
this one is clearly funny, the humor works well and catches attention, it also uses good sound effects.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD4b1LLz62s&feature=related
this one has very clear voices and also a jingle, something which i might incorporate in mine, again the sound effects are key in the understand of the 'joke'.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHozqs4Ip4A&feature=related
i like this one because the music adds comedy and makes it seem dramatic and exciting, it is also clearly aimed at men by the way it is spoken and the fact that it is a male voice.
