Digital Newsroom Skills Test - Images

This is the original image of the Lancashire County Council. This is a long shot of the building from around eye level (and therefore is neither a high or low angle shot). I have tried to frame the image with the trees on either side and above the building.




Below is the original image in a 100x100 format, aka a thumbnail.

Digital Newsroom Skills Test - Data

Below is a graph which shows the percentage of people that drink in English regions, plus the Home Nations.

This graph outlines the percentage of adults who drank at least once a week in each region of the UK. Here we can see that Yorkshire and the South East had the highest percentage (67%) whilst London had the lowest (51%). London’s percentage is considerably lower than the average for England (63%) and for Great Britain (62%). Another suprising figure is that Scotland has the lowest percentage of all the three home nations (56%) compared to England (63%) and Wales (57%).

From this data we can start to explore which areas of the country have the highest percentage of drinkers (casual or otherwise). Here we see that Yorkshire and the South East have the highest percentage of drinkers. This is concistant with the publication that drinkers in Yorkshire are more likely to exceed the RDA for alcohol.

These are the four stories I have chosen from the LEP for the maps section of key skills. I have tried to chose stories where either the location is important to the reader, or for a well known landmark (the main example of this being the Deepdale Stadium).
