Bath Chronicle front cover

Bath Chronicle Front Cover



























The Bath Chronicle is a local newspaper to Bath. As Bath is a more major area than North Somerset but less major than Bristol and Sheffield, the front cover of the Bath Chronicle as components from both style of newspaper. Firstly, the headline 'Store giant unveils vision' is written in a much larger font than the headline in the North Somerset Times making it bolder but unlike the Bristol Post and Sheffield Star, the letters are nearly all lower case. The word 'giant' in the headline will attract people's attention because it is a buzz word. 
The article is about proposed plans for a new Sainsbury's in the Bath area. However, the image which goes with the article is much smaller than the one of the dinosaur which goes with an article with the headline 'I walked the dinosaur.' This is because an image of a dinosaur is exciting and so will likely attract more people than an image of Sainsbury's despite the fact that this is probably a more important story for the locals. 
The logo/title of the newspaper is simple and similar to that of the North Somerset Times. The way that the area is written in smaller letters above the name of the newspaper (in this case Chronicle). The text in both is blue and rounded making it welcoming to the buyer/reader of the newspaper. 
Like with the North Somerset Times, the Bath Chronicle has a lot of adverts on the front cover. The adverts aren't all in the same place on the front cover like the North Somerset Times but there are more of them to get the newspaper funded.
