How to create a digital newspaper

Create a digital newspaper

With the help of our intuitive Design Studio, you can add your outstanding images, fonts, colors, text boxes, and so on. You can also choose to customize a fully editable newspaper template created by our designers. Browse through our various newspaper templates, pick your favorite, and make any changes you want.

These are the 8 parts that are usually included in a newspaper: front page, local and foreign news page, editorial page, sports page, classified ads, entertainment, obituary, business, and finance section. It is up to you which of these parts you include in your newspaper based on the type of publication you want to create.

The front page of a newspaper is the most important page of the publication. It’s the first thing your readers see, so pay attention to what you include here. These are the things that should be featured on a front page of a newspaper:
   • The logo of the newspaper
   • A masthead - information about the newspaper at the top of the front cover (the names of editors, writers, and owners, as well as the title of the newspaper)
   • An eye-catching headline
   • A standfirst - a line right after the headline to give more information about the story
   • A cover story - the main story used on the front cover
   • The body - the full details of the story
   • Some outstanding photos to impress the readers

News articles are written in a structure known as the “inverted pyramid”. This means that the most important information goes at the beginning of the story, while the least important information goes at the end. Therefore, this is how the format should look like:
   • Headline
   • Byline - this tells who wrote the story
   • Lead paragraph - this has ALL of the who, what, when, where, why, and how questions
   • Explanation/ Main body
   • Conclusion
   • Additional information - if you have any

A digital newspaper maker is a software that helps present the latest news in an interactive way. Include links, videos, slideshows to capture the audience’s attention. Share your digital newspaper publicly by website embed or direct link of different channels.
