Newspaper Comparison
I am going to investigate the following statements :
· The sizes , number of pages , area of print and cost of different
newspapers.
·The relative importance , status and space given to various items.
I can find this information from a number of newspapers that I will
buy in shops this should give me a good understanding of the
information I need to retrieve in order to complete my investigation.
Therefore to complete my investigation successfully I will need to
work from three various newspapers these newspapers will be of
different types. The newspapers are as follows :
· A Tabloid Newspaper - The Mirror
·A Broadsheet Newspaper - The Guardian
· A Free Newspaper - The Wirral Globe
I have chosen these three sources of information to analyse as they
are reliable as I know I can relate back to the material to check and
double check my results and analysis. I think that this method of
analysing with three different sources is fair as if I just compared
one type of newspaper then my results would be biased as the papers
would contain similar pages dedicated to the same topics. There are
many different styles of article between these three papers and I
think this makes the coursework a fair test. I have also found that
these papers have a reading age of under 15 so I will find it
reasonably easy to understand
I know that the material I am using for my maths coursework is
reliable as I can always relate back to the three newspapers at any
point in my investigation. I am also using Excel - Database which I
can use to work out formulae as well as collecting data.
I will use a sample of size as I am analysing three different
newspapers : A Broadsheet Newspaper, A Tabloid Newspaper, A Free
Newspaper.
This will be a fair sample as I will look at the sport sections in
each newspaper and the date of each newspaper this will ensure my
lots of text, so this is another vital area of study. I will also look
This website was not easy to use because of the simple fact that it didn't have enough information on it. No there was no relevant information on there because I had to click on other parts of the page to get to the information I was looking for. Once I clicked on the other part of the page it was pretty easy to understand but other than that no. Yes it is from a reliable
Assessment of Two Magazine Articles Looking at the studied articles “Lohan behold” by ‘sugar’ magazine featuring Lindsay Lohan and “I don’t need to take care of a man to be happy” by ‘cosmopolitan’ featuring Jennifer Lopez we see the main purpose of the 2 articles are to sell the celebrities lives, and meeting the purpose by entertaining their audience. The title in ‘sugar’;“Lohan behold” is automatically promotes herself , it is in a rough, somewhat untamed font and cuts through the picture this may suggest that this is a reflection of Lohan being wild, untamed and has no control because she is new to the celebrity world. The title “I don’t need a man to be happy” in cosmopolitan has emphasized the words ‘take care’ and ‘man’ and ‘happy’ the title is bold and eye catching and the emphasis of these words can suggest that they are trying to target the people especially women that are married as they are in the same sort of relationship problems but advertising Jennifer but in a positive light both articles have the titles big and bold but ‘cosmopolitan has a much simpler layout and enforces the increasing independency of her.

In Jo Ann Beard’s “The Fourth State of Matter” and Jay McInerey’s “It’s Six A.M. Do You Know Where You Are?”, two completely different main characters find themselves recently separated from their spouse and alone. Throughout both of these stories, we see the struggles that these individuals face as they cope with their grief after separating from their significant other and accepting their new realities. The narrator in “The Fourth State of Matter” consumes her time in caring for her ailing dog and working as a physics magazine editor; the main character in “It’s Six A.M. Do You Know Where You Are?” spends his time abusing cocaine and looking for another companion. While the two characters handle their situation in two completely different ways, they do, however, possess some similar qualities. Ultimately, they have both come to find themselves in a reality that is stuck between the past and the future. In the end, both characters are able to accept their divorces probably because they have felt so lonely for far too long; they can finally move on with their lives. “The Fourth State of Matter” and “It’s Six A.M. Do You Know Where You Are?” both depict how misfortune can leave the characters in each story in inertia between reminiscing on the past and moving forward into the future and how difficult moving on can actually be for these characters who fear the feeling of being abandonment so much.

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.
