The Masthead
Each newspaper has an individual brand name that makes it easier for an individual to tell the difference between each newspaper.The Evening Post chose their name because it is a daily newspaper that originally people were able to buy in the evening. Know the Evening Post is more established they do an morning evening post but they shows this to their readers by the amount of stares on the front page. They have got a mixture of traditional and modern font is beacuse the newspaper feels are if they want to remeber all of the history Bristol has gone through but also are excited about the future for the city. They have included a smybol into their brand name that represents a bit of Bristols history because Bristol harbour was used due in the slave trade.  



The local newspaper for yorkshire is the Yorkshire Post this has got its tittle by telling the reader exactly what it is so there would be no confusion about what the newspaper includes. They have used the word Yorkshire because it tells the reader that this is their local newspaper, they have included the word post to tell the reader what kind of information the newspaper is going to included. They have used a more traditonal font with big black lines and harsh staight edges.  

The Times is also a local newspaper to Bristol,the word Times relates to the fact that the information in the newspaper is current to the area and is up to date. They have used traditional fonts with sharp edges and thick black letters. The Times have also included an tradional smybol of a lion and a unicorn with the queens crown on the top.
