Comparing a Tabloid and a Broadsheet
In this piece of coursework I will be looking at the differences and
similarities in two particular subjects of the news. The two different
articles are in both tabloids and broadsheets.
One very noticeable comparison you can easily make between the
broadsheet and the tabloid newspapers is which story they have given
priority to, either the Catherine Zeta-Jones privacy trail which is no
more then popular news, or the Iraq conflict which has affected people
world wide and is very serious news.
One of the stories, which is the one on the war in Iraq, has many more
has many more articles in the paper than the story covering the
Catherine Zeta Jones and Mickael Douglas court case against Hello!
Magazine, who violated the couple's image rites at there wedding.
I will be looking at the Times, which is a broadsheet, and the Daily
Mail which is a tabloid. These two newspapers were brought out on the
12th of April 2003. These two articles are both very different from
each other. To find out about each article I shall concentrate on the
following points:
* The priority each story is given
* The amount of coverage for each
* The use made of photos
* The extent to which each is objective or biased
* The language used
* The predominant message implicit in each
* The balance of fact and opinion
* The purpose of the articles-to inform, entertain, appeal to emotions
etc?
The broadsheet has 4pages of reporting on the trial which is quite a
large amount of space of a newspaper.
The Jones and Douglas Trial against Hello!
The priority of each story
==========================
The first article that I shall be writing about concentrates on the
couples trial. It is published in the Times and has the title of
'Court castigates tainted wedding scoop by Hello! Magazine.' It is
placed in the centre pages of the broadsheet , which suggests that it

The photo on the front cover of 'Smash Hits' is of Steps lying in a
Interviewee: It seems that the majority of the stories in tabloids are sad at the beginning however they always tend to turn happy towards the end. Like it could be "I was kidnaped by an alien but they eventually returned me back home with special powers!".

The media object I have chosen is the Paper Magazine’s cover photo of winter 2014 issue featuring 34 year old famous reality TV star, model, actress, businesswomen and entrepreneur named Kim Kardashian. Paper Magazine is an independent New York City based magazine which focuses on pop culture, fashion, art, music and film. There were a lot of cover of other models and famous celebrities like Katy Perry, Fergie and Mariah Carey. And many of these photo covers were captured by a famous French contemporary photographer and designer, Jean Paul Goude. He re-created his most famous shot for the winter 2014 issue of Paper Magazine which was based on his 1976 shot of a black woman Carolina Beaumont which was referred to as the “Champagne Incident”.
ways as I have explained in this essay. It is a fact that The Mirror
Newswriting, as it exists today, began with the adoption of the telegraph, which roughly coincided with the start of the American Civil War. The necessity of getting at story through before the telegraph’s occasional malfunction forced a radical change in the style of writing used in reporting. Before the telegraph, much of writing news was just that: writing. News was reported much like books were written. The reporter would set the scene with a detailed account of the setting or the mood and tell the tale just like any other narrative that one might read simply for pleasure. Since the telegraph made it possible for news to be printed the day after it happened; it was immediately adopted as the preferred method of getting news to the newsroom. Occasionally, however, the telegraph line would go down. Often this happened during a transmission, and the remainder of the message could not be sent until the line was repaired. Since a detailed description of the setting and the mood are useless without the actual piece of news, the system of writing, now known as the inverted pyramid, in which the most important items are written first in a concise manner, was born. The inverted pyramid system, born of necessity, was absorbed into newswriting over the proceeding century, and exists today as the standard style for reporting news.
News stories are covered several times and most of us do not even realize it. Although more recently many people get news in more similar mediums such as on the Internet because of the decline of newspapers. “Since 1940, the total number of daily newspapers has dropped more than 21 percent” (McIntosh and Pavlik, 119). Many times we do not realize the same story we read online was covered on our local news station and in our local newspaper, even further than that this same story is being covered in many different news stations, newspapers, and news sites all over the country and even the world. So what makes these stories different? Each time you read a news story from a different source something different happens to it. The different views and frames used by the source gives the reader a different take every time. I saw that first hand in my two stories. In my project I compared the same story of Mya Lyons, a nine year old girl who was stabbed to death.
There are two distinct sides to the debate of journalism, their journalists, and the consumers: traditional journalism and public journalism. In the current digital age there is a greater number of public journalism being practiced. However, journalists and their consumers run into several issues concerning that matter. To express more clearly, there are particular roles and characteristics in which journalism standards are being gauged.
Nowadays, the popularity of these media is more to electronic media than printed media because their trying to dominate each other. A printed media have its own importance and popularity which cannot be replaced by anyone else. When though there is a tight competition between the newspapers and electronics medium among variety of newspapers increasing day to day which has made the print media cheaper, qualitative, informative and fast. The printed media is more accurate information details. The electronic media just hire people based on looks rather than journalism skills because the journalists and editor of newspapers are more efficient and experienced. The utility of print media will always remain informative to help the user. Printed media on deeper research of particular topic
