Frequently asked questions
With Flipsnack, it’s easy and fun to make your own newspaper template. There are two different options where you can choose from, depending on your intent. If you’re creative and already have something in mind, you can start from scratch by simply choosing your template’s size. With the help of our intuitive Design Studio, you can add your outstanding images, fonts, colors, text boxes, and so on. But you can also choose to customize a premade newspaper template that was already created by our designers. Browse through our various newspaper templates collection, pick your favorite and make any changes you want. When you’re done with the editing part, don’t forget to save your template, in case you’ll want to share it with others, or just use it another time.
The front page of a newspaper is the most important page of the publication, because it’s the first thing your readers see, so pay attention to what you choose to insert. These are the things that should be featured on a front page of a 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 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)
• Some outstanding photos to impress the readers
• The body - the full details of the story
These are the 8 parts of a newspaper: front page, local and foreign news page, editorial page, sports page, classified ads, entertainment, obituary, business and finance section
The news articles are written in a structure known as the “inverted pyramid”, which means that the most important information goes at the beginning of the story and 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
Yes, with Flipsnack’s help, you can make your own beautiful and professional newspaper in just a few minutes. There are two different ways: create from scratch or customize a premade template. Choose the first option if you already have something in your mind. Unleash your creativity with Flipsnack’s amazing and intuitive Design Studio. Upload your own images, fonts, colors, text boxes, and whatever else you find necessary. Select the second option if you want to just personalize a premade newspaper template. Browse through our vast collection, pick your favorite newspaper template, and start editing. Our drag and drop editor will ease your work for sure. When you’re done with this part, it’s time to save your newspaper template, then share it with others, or take it to print.
