Analysis Paper
To Whom It May Concern:
As I was reading your BBC (England paper) print that was put out October 6, 2010 online, I noticed many things that I like and didn’t like. As I viewed the pages, I looked at the way the paper was laid out, the Ad’s you put in it, the stories, the photography and the story Headlines.
While reading through the most recent news that has been posted on BBC, I noticed one thing. The England BBC news is a well balanced out paper, presenting news from all over the world. The main story was an article that was about US prosecutors in a terror case. In the News Section there was an article on how Saudi Arabia doesn’t approve of gay relationships. Another example would be in the Business section, where it showed the Stock Data on Dow Jones, Nasdaq, FTSE 100, Dax, and Cac 40. This is worldwide news. This help gives readers an opportunity to see what is going on all around the world, in this one paper. The paper is informative and easy to read.
The very first thing that caught my eye as the page came up on the computer screen was the Main Story. I thought to myself, why would a European Press put a US story as their Main Page? If I lived in England and I read from BBC as my major newspaper, I would want to know what is happening in my country as major news. Even though the US Terror Case is big all over the US, it’s not an issue that just came out. Try putting something from your country as the Main Story.
One thing that made me love your paper was the lay out. I absolutely loved the organization where you put the news, sports, science and environment, entertainment, weather, business, travel, world service, TV channels, and radio all in their very own section. The paper is nice and neat, so I know exactly where to look for what ever topic I was looking for. Even more, under each section there follow up stories bullet pointed, of the most recent stuff happening.
Another great thing that kept the News of BBC exciting and interesting was pretty much each section provided a picture for the main story in that one section. For example in the Sports Section it presents a picture of Uganda Kipsiro winning his 5,000m race winning the gold. For the entertainment, there is a picture of Sam Neill wading into Hobbit row. These pictures bring in a bigger idea of what the story will explain and talk about.
Lastly, the Ad’s; they are pretty large and noticeable too. These are presenting to the viewers the new 2011 E-Class car coming out soon. I wondered why the Mercedes car of all things, but then I knew; Mercedes Cars are European made. The British Broadcasting Corporation is trying to present something from their country to worldwide viewers. This is to help their European countries sell their car worldwide.
But overall, I would say this paper is well laid out, and very informative to many people and places.

Sincerely,
Meggan Craviotto
