Conventions of a newspaper broadsheet??

Help, how do you write a broadsheet?? :confused: What should I include?
This is for my "Transformations" (module A) assessment, and the question is:

" 'Recreations of an existing text provide not only a new text but also a new reading of a prior text.'
Write a review of the more recent of your texts for a weekend broadsheet, exploring its relationship with the original text."

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I've never had to do a broadsheet before...

Check out the SMH or Australian newspapers. That's broadsheet. Do not copy the style of the Daily Telegraph as that's a tabloid.

The style of writing and language in broadsheets are usually more sophisticated, more analytical and more critical than other types of newspapers.

*1 - talk about how messages are conveyed - techniques!! techniques both in the novel and in the movie, angles,

*2 - talk about what the values and attitudes are in each of the text, show the relationship between the two, e.g. both have themes of relationships

*3 - give the value of / show how effective / something along those lines the book and movie are in showing meaning. kind of ties in with 1.

i would talk about 2, and in talking about 2 i would show how these vales and attitudes are shown by the film and novel techniques (1) tying in 3 on the way.
