Newspaper Title

Local and county newspapers tend to name their newspapers based on the area/town. This is usually followed by a reference to newspapers, for example - The Isle of Wight County Press, and The Reading Chronicle. National newspapers also seem to go in this direction - connected with a reference to the newspaper industry, however do not usually have a reference to a local town/county - for example the Daily Express, The Telegraph, and the Daily Mail.

After researching the names of newspapers in the South of England on this website http://www.wrx.zen.co.uk/soupress.htm I have identified that the most common newspaper name format is 'The ____ Gazette' or the 'The ____ Herald'. Based on these codes and conventions, and to try and differ from the most common choices, I have named my local newspaper The Isle of Wight Observer.
