Answer 1

If you use Micosoft Word, it will take anything you write and divide it into several columns for you...and you can even justify the columns likea newspaper does.

I have no idea what you want to make a fake newspaper for, but I'll assume for a moment that it is simply as a practical joke. If that's the case, then take a picture or two, scan the images in, and have a couple of black and white photos for a more convincing look.

Don't forget to have some mundane, run-of-the-mill headlines for a more convincing look. Things like "State trooper suspended after high-speed chase...page nine."

Finally, you might be able to pull this off better if you make it a "second" or "third" page of a fake newspaper rather than a front page, since front pages are so involved.

Answer 2

Are you thinking of newspaper in real format as you get in the morning by delivery?
Or you want to make Ezine, E mail newspaper. E mail newspaper is very easy to make and there are some software available. Or if you know HTML you can just copy someones Layout then change a little and use.

Or the easy way, use Microsoft Word and check available templates for Newspaper. You can get an idea.
Do not forget newspapers do have more than one columns.

Let assume you are an editor, I asked you to write a news and print the newspaper. What items you should be needing?
A hot news, Newspaper (think of a name) format(design). Front page the most important in news. Have you seen small advertisement at the top of newspaper they are really expensive. At the bottom or in sides also have advertisement.
Now you have some idea can you start?

Do not think difficult. Start from easy thing OK.

I'm not really understanding your question. You need to make a fake newspaper? Well, you can easily do that on the computer if you have a printer and a word program.
If you want to make the paper appear aged then you can tea stain it.
Are you asking if we have any ideas for topics for your newspaper? I'm not trying to be disrespectful, I just need some elaboration.

Answer 4

i did a paper in highschool that i really enjoyed. i had my mom take me down to the old folks home to ask questions. i interviewed numerous ppl before i decided upon ww2 and what it was like for the ppl involved. Other topics i had were the great depression, vietnam, grenada....if that counts. I tried to find someone who had been to pearl harbor and had trouble. You can ask them what they did before, during, after. If they had trouble living normal lives afterwards, if they had nightmares. what there position was, how did it effect theyre family, so on and so on. Theres a million questions u can ask. Most of them wont mind u asking questions. many of them appreciate the company.
