In Soviet times, the names of wall newspapers reflected the mood that reigned in the minds and hearts of people. Wall newspapers were given "telling" names, like "Battle Leaflet", "School Truth", "For Labor". Now a single ideological ground seems to be missing. And the author of the wall newspaper is forced to deeply research himself or his future readers in order to find a good name for the wall newspaper. The name may reflect the mission of the team of authors, coincide with the name of a free domain on the Internet, or may contain other motives.
Instructions
Step 1
Make a list of words and phrases that are typical for your future readers. For example, a newspaper is being created for employees of a ball bearing plant and will cover the plant news. Listen to what phrases are heard during lunch breaks. People discuss current issues using "local jargon". You can often hear the word "bearing", "piece of iron" or "nimble machine operator". Collect as many words and phrases as possible.
Step 2
Understand the history of the area where you plan to hang the wall newspaper. We will continue to consider the plant as an example. Find employees who worked here 40 years ago. Ask them what the wall newspapers were called in those years. Include their names on your list.
Step 3
Have a secret meeting. Invite the most authoritative and respected people from among the future readers to it, regardless of their position. Try to cover all "territorial units" - invite representatives from the canteen, cleaning service, accounting, warehouse, etc. At the meeting, brainstorm about the future name. Add all the options to your list, no criticism. Be sure, now they will know about your wall newspaper long before its release. And they will wait impatiently.
Step 4
Make the 1st issue titled "Untitled Wall Newspaper". Write down who this newspaper is for and what your goals are. Ask readers to choose the best title (publish your list) or suggest their own. By doing this, you will immediately make the readers of the newspaper active participants. They will love the wall newspaper.
Step 5
Collect all the suggested options on your list. Write down all of the readers' arguments. Don't read the list for a few days. Then choose the name that is best for you. Justify your choice. And make a festive issue of the wall newspaper explaining the chosen position. If a specific person suggested the best name, interview him for the holiday issue. Crowds of readers are provided for you.
