Newspaper Names

Most newspaper names are short and describe the area where it is sold such as The Braintree and Witham Times or The Halstead Gazette or it desrcibes when it is sold such as The Evening Gazette. Other newspapers don't do this and have names such as The Guardian or The Sun which maybe gives away the newspapers target audience. For example The Guardian sounds like it should be aimed at the upper class because of how it's name sounds whereas The Sun is just short and simple and sounds as though it's target audience would be more working class people.

For my newspaper, I decided the name should relate to something in the local area, for exmaple the name of the local area or something in that area.
I came up with the name Castle News because the word castle represents something in the local area, Hedingham Castle, which everyone in the local area would know about.
