1984 Newspaper Assignment

One of the ways Big Brother and The Party manipulate the citizens of Oceania is through media (television, radio, newspapers, magazines, etc). Big Brother controls what people read, what they hear, what they say, and what they think about “reality” and “history.” As a way of exploring this theme, you and your partner will create a newspaper for Oceania. You can report on any aspects of Oceanic life that you wish, such as the occurrence of any crimes (Thoughtcrimes or Facecrimes), or reports from the Junior Spies, the Anti-Sex League, and the Ministries of Truth, Peace, Love, etc. Try to write at least four articles, while keeping in mind that all information is controlled by Big Brother. What kinds of information would The Party want disseminated? The name and layout of your Newspaper are up to you. Be creative, but keep in mind the bleak tone and setting of the Oceania.
For Bonus Marks: Try to incorporate some Newspeak words.
