Could anyone tell me an event in David Copperfield that may be of worth mentioning on my newspaper assesment. The criteria is to design and write a newspaper that contains reports of main events in a particular story. The audience is to be the general public in the story that are not characterized.

How you define "main" events in a story? A story's main event might not be something you can report on a newspaper - like, for example, Dadid's mother marrying Mr. Murdstone. The shipwreck in Yarmouth, is something crucial to the story and certainly not indifferent to a newspaper. But in the story what matters most is who tried to save whom, the death of both of them, and the roots of these events to previous chapters. For the newspapers, just some people died - terrible and trivial in the same time. You have also Mr. Micawber becoming District Magistrate, a speech of whom is already reported in the book by a newspaper (see ch. 63). You can have a report of U. Heep's arrest, and most of all, you can have a report on David Copperfield's new books - it is said he became a very succesful writer. You can find more...
