Newsspeaking - fictional newspaper

This project actually turned out to be a lot more fun than I thought it'd be. I was to be the creator of my own newspaper. My concept was to convert any bad news into good news. I had a list of title possibilities, but settled with "The Sweet Scoop". I started by scanning the original paper and cutting up all the headlines and story content provided on the front page only, to then be able to edit and manipulate the intended message and create alternate "truths". It's interesting to see how one word alone can change an entire story.
