Change
Originally to create the website for Croydon Weekly , i planned to use Adobe DreamWeaver , but due to complications getting the hang of using the program , i opted to change the program that i used. To complete the website i used Adobe Indesign as i realised i could still create hyperlinks and have website features using this program.

Audience Research
I conducted audience research using website survey monkey in which i posted a link to social networking site facebook to gather some responses. Here are some screen shots for the results i received :
Based on these results i made key decisions about the newspaper and the features based on what the audience wanted to see. Key decisions were made in regards to pricing of the paper and also how often the paper will be distributed. I also conducted research into what the audience preferences are within a newspaper.

Croydon Council Cuts Youth Club Budget
Croydon Council today announced their plans to cut the budget on youth clubs around Croydon. This has come about following reports that the government spending on local councils was cut in half to solve the national economic deficit.
Youth clubs in recent years have reduced the amount of youth crime in recent years. A spokesperson from the Old Town Youth Centre has said " We're really disappointed as our budget has been slashed in half. Consequently we have to reconsider some of the activities we had planned , which will come as a real disappointment to all of our kids. "
Family of 4
A family of 4 has been tragically killed in a house fire in Croydon in the early hours of this morning. Fire services were called to the scene immediately when neighbours were awoken by an explosion within the household. Flames within the household were so vicious that they blocked all points of entry into the house which consequently left fire fighters unable to enter the house , leaving the family stranded inside.
Local residents expressed their shock at the situation commenting upon how the family were such loving and caring people. One resident said " I cannot express how shocked I am by the events that have taken place , it was just yesterday I saw them so cheerful , this is a loss to our community as a whole."
Investigators from the scene have found the reason why this tragedy has taken place. They stated that an electric malfunction in a socket caught fire to the carpet in the early hours of the morning which left the family unaware and trapped inside.
