Q&A for How to Make a Newspaper

No, you don't. You could use something like a typewriter or just write it by hand.

The same way as anybody else: just follow the steps in this article.

You should use MS Publisher instead of MS Word. I prefer it. The main reason is that it already provides various types of designs/templates for newspapers. It also includes pictures and pre-made columns and facts for writing news. It has a lot of stuff Word doesn't provide!

You can write it by hand or buy a computer or a laptop. You can even borrow a computer or a laptop from a friend or a neighbor, or go to the public library to use one of theirs. Then print it.

Theoretically, yes. You can get money from people purchasing and subscribing to your newspaper. However, building up an audience can be tough. You could also get paid to write for an existing paper.

You could, or you could just include a gossip column in your newspaper along with other types of articles.

You could probably find a good printer in your local library. If not, ask your boss if you can use a printer at work. If you're a kid, ask you parents if they have access to one, or ask a teacher or administrator at school if you can use one there.

You could interact with people involved in the stories - interview someone, give an opinion, or, if possible, use pictures. You could also, every now and then, get involved in whatever's going on and then write about it later.

Depending on how flashy your title should be, you could use Avenir Text, Impact, or Copperplate. The best font for the actual articles is Hoefler text.

Try thinking of something catchy. Think of something classic with an ending like Journal or Times. Write the heading in a font that matches the style of the name.
