Audience:
The inside pages of the Bristol Post are suitable for the target audience because the language is written in a formal way which appeals to adults. The stories are also suitable for the target audience because they are stories which could concern the target audience. The article about school children being fired at could concern some of the target audience as they might be parents at the school or local to the area. The article about a new birthing unit would appeal to women and mothers because it could be something that they would look into if they were having a baby.
Stories:
There are 5 major articles on the first inside page of this issue of the Bristol Post. The main image on the inside page is about neither the BB shooting or the Bristol Blue Peter presenters. However, the BB shooting is the first article on the inside page and the newspaper shows this by having this headline in bold letters whilst the other headlines are much less bold and don't stand out as much. The article about the Bristol Blue Peter presenters also has an image to attract the reader to read that story.
Representation of local area:
The area is represented similarly to the front page of this issue of the Bristol Post. The three key articles on the front cover are the article about the school shooting (front page), the article about the new Blue Peter Presenters (front page) and the article about the new birthing unit (inside page only). The article about the shooting, again, doesn't have an image to go with it and it put on page 4 rather than page 5 (people will see page 5 before page 4). This means that this isn't what stands out on the inside page and as it is an article which represents Bristol in not such a good light, this is the newspapers way of trying to hide the negative things. The other two articles are on page 5 and have images to go with them so these stand out on the inside page. These are positive stories so show the area positively.
