Key articles in local newspapers

After researching into my towns local newspapers I discovered the key articles/pages contained

• Sport
• Announcements such as birthdays, deaths, marriages.
• General news to do with the town, e.g. crime, events, new businesses.
• Weather
• Editors letter

I will be taking these into consideration when writing articles to go into my newspaper. Although crime is a negative subject, it's one that always catches the readers attention, so i am more than likely to put this on the front of my newspaper, and then more lighthearted subjects on the second page.
