This document summarizes how a media product uses conventions from real TV listings. It features a large main image and smaller images from the documentary spread across the page, using captions to describe each image, following conventions. It also uses a large headline with smaller subtitle in different colors, originally seen in TV listings magazines. Pull quotes are used with brightly colored backgrounds to draw attention, developing a convention seen in other listings. The main article features conventions like drop caps, readable fonts, and subtitles to break up text for easy reading, drawing from conventions in magazines like TV Choice.
