Text and aspects of front page

In order to ensure my newspaper appeals to the correct audience I will have to include pictures and headlines that will cause interest. Therefore I brainstormed several headlines...

1. SOUTHEND RESIDENTS OPPOSE STUDENT ‘EYESORE'
2. LOCAL HERO SAVES FRIEND FROM BURNING  CAR   
3. STUDENT COMEDY CLUB CALLS FOR YOUNG ARTISTS!
4. VIRUS TAKES DOWN CAMPUS!
5. STUDENT FINANCE LEAVE THOUSANDS WITH NO MONEY!

In the end I chose headlines 1, 2 and 3; writing these articles to go with them. 

 SOUTHEND RESIDENTS OPPOSE STUDENT ‘EYESORE

    Angry residents of Southend yesterday protested against the new student campus, just walking distance from the college and high street.
The new campus features coloured blocks placed in horizontal and vertical positions. It has been built to house students studying at South East Essex College, which is also a University and is expected to hold 250 - 500 students.
    The campus, which is yet to be completed, has been protested since the initial idea. Shop owners and local residents have complained it does not fit with the style of Southend’s architecture, and will put off future tourists. Another source of recent complaints has been the use of colourful blocks, which shop owners have said is ‘unattractive and uneeded’. A statement given by Vera Lang, an elderly resident of Southend said that ‘Southend is a traditional seaside town, and it’s growing student status will sacrifice tourists.’
    Sources from the college gave us a statement in which they said they felt the post modernist  design of the building was a symbol of Southend’s status as a student town. 

 LOCAL HERO SAVES FRIEND FROM BURNING  CAR  

A hero who saved his friend from a burning car was last night being considered for a bravery award after risking his life. Rick Wakerly told of his ordeal after Murray Bass, 19, was trapped unconscious in the burning wreck.
The crash happened in Ramsden Bellhouse in the early hours of 5th January, after Mr Bass returned from his DJ job at Stock Brook Manor. The cause of the crash is yet to be established, however it is believed the poor weather conditions were involved.
Mr Bass has been placed in a coma after suffering a punctured lung, a broken jaw and bleeding to the brain. The impact of his injuries are yet to be determined.
Rick, 20, told of moments after the crash. “I was following him in my car, and saw his car had crashed into a telegraph pole and had set alight. I jumped out and tried to open the door, but it was jammed. I could see he was bleeding and unconscious so didn’t think twice about pulling him out”
