The following article appeared in the news section of holdthefrontpage.co.uk - a website for journalists and journalism students across the UK.

Scooped!, the mock newspaper front-page business, has teamed up with The Scottish Sun to run a Father's Day competition. Readers in Scotland must tell the paper why their dad is the best in the world. Ten winners will each star on the front page of a special spoof edition of the paper. Scooped! was launched by former local press reporter and Sun sub-editor James McIvor after he was asked to design countless mock front pages for departing colleagues.

Scooped! featured on allmediascotland

allmediascotland.com - Scotland's premier media website - has an article today on Scooped! teaming up with The Sun to produce personalised newspapers for their army of readers.

Titled 'Sun Masthead To Grace Personalised Front Pages' the article reads ....

The Scottish Sun has hooked up with one of its former employees to offer a personalised front page - bearing its own masthead - as a competition prize for readers.

James McIvor now runs a business creating spoof front pages, to mark a special occasion, such as a birthday. Until now, his business - Scooped! - has used fictional mastheads, but the Scottish Sun has invited him to create reproduction front pages, using their own masthead, to celebrate Father’s Day.

Ten readers will receive mocked up front pages declaring them to be ‘Scotland’s Best Dad’.

McIvor used to be chief sub-editor at the paper. The competition was launched on Saturday.

And the relationship is not confined to Father’s Day, which is taking place on the 15th of next month. For £25, readers can have their own, Scottish Sun front page. For more, visit here

Says James: “It is fantastic that our company has been chosen to write and design spoof front pages for the country's best-selling newspaper. To the best of my knowledge, no other national paper has given their readers the opportunity to star on their front page, so I am confident that the concept will be well received by readers.”
