Follow up post- But this time...it's Guardian

Ok before we start to flog my tired of catchphrase..what up my blog reading enthusiasts ?

So if you read my earlier post you’ll see it’s another news report on the effects snow have had on various public services around the good old city of Lincoln. This difference is from the one I did last week that this one I’ve done in the style of the national newspaper The Guardian. To adhere to this I’ve followed done the following things:

1. For my quotes I’ve imbedded them into the copy. An example would as follows- Solicitor Kelly Taylor said "There is no such thing as a free day off to frolic in the snow".
2. The normal wiritng age for a paper is 12, however since The Guardian as is slightly upper end I was able to use slightly more complex vocabulary like ‘procedures’ since the paper’s target audience could be considered slightly more intellectual since their in the ABC1 catergory.
3. In terms of structure the Guardian seems a little more comfortbale with using small paragraphs ranging from two long setences to bigger paragraphs from three to four sentences.
4. I also used digits instead of writing numbers which is consitent with a normal Guardian artilce.
5. However I did think the subject like covering the ST John Ambulance service fit into the niche angle The Guardian tends to look for.

Now for the things which I know aren’t consitent with a run of the mill Guardian artilce.

1. I realise the subject of the artilce is way to local or even for a national paper the term ‘mirco local’ may apply.
2. The length itself my be inconsistent with your standard Guardian artilce as mine only measures upto about 300 words (but I found this was limit before it became a tad overstrecthed) while most Guardian artilces are least 500 words or more.
