Special Report: How SAFE are you at uni?
Design/Layout
- The colour scheme for this 3 page spread is orange. This colour is used for a key word in the title 'SAFE' and the subheadings for useful information 'how to make a difference'.
- The text is set out in columns, separated by subheadings relating to the context.
- The image takes up about three quarters of the first page and a quarter of the second page.
- The title is situated closer to the bottom of the first page, using large, bold font.
- The web address and the number for subscription are on the bottom right or left corners of the page.
- Quotes and statistics are featured on the image.
Image
- There are two images - one main image and one supporting image on the last page.
-They fit in with the colour scheme as they are tinted orange
- The main image is a slightly blurred shot of a woman walking through a tunnel towards a street filled with parked cars which is out of focus
-The second image is a corridor leading to rooms. The further down the corridor, the more out of focus it becomes.
Extras- comps, polls etc.
- There is a helpline service available to call as the contents of the article are considered sensitive.
Language
- The report is about a serious event: being safe at University.
- Report specifics: girls being sexually harassed at Uni
- Written by Katherine Chatfield
- There are lots of statistics in the text: percentages, possibilities out of 10
- Written in 3rd person. Quotes written in 1st person
- Personal quotes used to highlight real life experiences
- Quotes from people who are clued in on the issue e.g Courtney Sloane (women's officer), Nina Funnell (a former Uni student)
- There is a serious tone as it tries to warn other girls to look out for certain behaviour
- Narrative retelling of how it happens
- Quite opinion based from the main victim Raveen Toor and from women's officer Courtney Sloane.
- The text is quite formal as it is a serious issue, but it still tries to come across as friendly by giving advice.
