Comparison of Newspaper Articles
I have chosen two articles about the same story from two contrasting
newspapers, one a tabloid and one a broadsheet. The tabloid I have
chosen is The Mirror and the broadsheet is The Times. Both articles
are taken from the papers of Tuesday 22nd October 2001. They cover the
story about the outbreak of Anthrax in Washington DC where two postal
workers died.
I think the Mirror is aimed at people who do not want to read the news
in great detail and just want to know the essential facts. I think
this because of the language used, sensational headlines and startling
pictures. The Times on the other hand tends to present the facts in a
more informative way being geared towards people who are willing to
spend a lot more time reading the articles.
The headlines of the articles are very different, in both layout and
in language. The headline in The Mirror is written in a very large
font, it is bold, is written in capitals and is very eye catching. It
takes up approximately 50% of the space given for the article. On the
other hand the headline in The Times is written in a much smaller
font, is longer, written in lower case letters and only takes up
approximately 20% of the space which is given for this article.
The headline in The Mirror reads "ANTHRAX: 2 MORE DIE" The word
"anthrax" is on its own, on the top line this makes the word menacing
and intimidating because when people see "anthrax" they think of a
deadly disease and biological warfare. These things are very
frightening for the public. "2 MORE DIE" this is a use of emotive
language used to attract the reader to the story.
The headline i...
... middle of paper ...
... that the two deaths
were caused by inhaled anthrax and that he said "Obviously we're very
concerned." The Times in paragraph four quotes Dr Ian Walks, the
city's chief health officer as having said that after three weeks of
scares the concern over bio-terrorism had suddenly entered a more
ominous phase. This again shows that The Times uses more sophisticated
vocabulary than The Mirror.
In conclusion presentation and style are important aspects of both
broadsheet and tabloid newspapers. Tabloids use sensational headlines
and photographs to attract their audience, whereas the broadsheet
newspapers rely on factually sound and detailed content to satisfy
their readers. Tabloids often present their audience with a particular
conclusion. On the other hand broadsheets leave their audience to make
an informed judgement.
An analysis of Mycerinus and Kha-merer-nebty II and Augustus of Primaporta, reveals that there are many similarities, but also many differences between these two pieces of sculpture. These similarities and differences are found in the subject, style, and function of both works of art.
Vladek and Guido use their skills and intelligence to endure a genocide that killed over 6 million Jews and 11 million people in total. Although sadly Guido did not make it through the Holocaust, his wife Dora and Son Giosué survived, thanks to the help of Guido. Vladek survived by using his many talents in the prison camps whereas Guido survived by his cunning intelligence and positive attitude. In the Books Maus I and II by Art Spiegelman, the author uses his fathers story of survival to create a book that unleashes vivid imagery of Vladeks time in Auschwitz, in addition to how it has affected him since. In the movie Life Is Beautiful Directed by Roberto Benigni, Guido was an average Jewish man living in Italy. When his family got taken to a Natzi death camp he managed to keep his son Giosué hidden, while doing so he jeopardized his own life. Both of these works display two brave men withstanding the worst race extermination in history.
To class this comparison and contrast of The Matrix with regards of readings of Plato and Descartes would be a challenge. On this account, the comparison would be that all three questioned what is reality? What is real?, Am I dreaming?, or Am I up? Considered reading and re-reading all three texts to see that one comparison staring right at in the eye was difficult. The deliberation any cognitive ability to question what’s real seems to be a few centuries old questions. Nevertheless, the contrast would be having the opportunity to free our minds from all cares. In the Matrix the contrast was freeing our mind from a super computers.
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.
Prince Henry of Portugal, more commonly known as Henry the Navigator, and Zheng He, a successful Chinese admiral, were both extremely accomplished men throughout the 14th and 15th centuries. During this era, many accomplished explorers ventured out into the ocean and discovered new lands, two of the most important men being Henry the Navigator and Zheng He. Although both men came from different backgrounds, their contrasting societies and structures affected the way in which they regarded economic and political expansion and also their contact with other cultures. Societies like the Chinese and Portuguese had many cultural differences such as their different religions. The Chinese practiced neo-Confucianism whereas the Portuguese were Christians which was one of the many purposes of their exploration, to spread Christianity. There were also many cultural similarities between the two societies such as their long lasting histories and their explorer’s curiosity to seek out to new lands, which resulted the two societies in having different views on economic and political expansion and contact with other cultures. Both Confucian and Christian ideologies favored those who worked over the wealthy. Thus, to a larger extent, the structures and values of a society have an extensive impact on the way people view economic and political expansion and contact with other cultures.
Newspaper Comparisons Introduction For this statistical coursework I will compare the length of words in tabloid and broadsheet newspapers. My sources are 'The Sun' (a tabloid) and 'The Times' (a broadsheet). Predictions / Hypotheses * Broadsheets, on average, use long words, while tabloid newspapers generally contain shorter words than broadsheets. * Tabloids have a wider variation in the number of letters per word than broadsheets * The most common (modal) number of letters per word for a broadsheet is between 5 and 8, while the most common number of letters per word in a tabloid is between 4 and 7.
Books written in the Gilded Age are most usually an accurate representation of the lives led by those characters represented in them. They give us an in depth and up close and more personal look at the difficult and fast-changing times back then. Although Maggie and O Pioneers! differ in geographical terms, they both make me feel like I actually understand what it was like to live back then. When you compare them side by side you can see that both sides of life affect the personalities and characterizations of people depicted.
Write down the newspaper article headlines and provide an analysis of each and how it assists in the control of truman. “Who needs Euro?” This newspaper article headline is talking about “Seahaven planet's top town.” This newspaper article could assist in the control of Truman by having him think that Seahaven is the perfect town and that there is nothing wrong in that town and if they are named planet's top town then he will think it is perfect and that nothing is wrong with the town. The newspaper article headline “Crackdown on homeless.” Could lead Truman to believe that the homeless man wasn’t his dad and that they were taking away the homeless man to clean up the town and not to take him away from Truman.

Comparing Tabloid and Broadsheet Newspapers In the last century, English newspapers have been categorized into two main groups: Tabloids and Broadsheets. The Telegraph and The sun are the most popular Tabloids and Broadsheets. Hollinger International owns the Telegraph while the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch owns the Sun, The Times and The BSkyB Television network. These papers are perfect examples of British newspapers.
On the front page of the Daily Mirror there is a lot of detail making
A Comparison of Two Newspapers ‘Media’ helps us to know more about what’s happening around us. There are many types of media; newspapers are one among them. Newspapers can be classified into two types: tabloids and broadsheets. Tabloids are known as “the popular press”. They are often biased and contain gossips about personalities and are less serious.
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.
Read All About It: Tabloids vs. Broadsheets I have chosen to compare a tabloid, which is a light-hearted gossip newspaper with more celebrity banter than factual information, with a broadsheet, which contains lots of information that concerns our every day lives and less gossip, it can be described as a more ‘mature’ newspaper. Broadsheets are normally printed in black and white whereas tabloids are printed in colour. The two newspapers are very different and there is a big boundary between fact and fiction, which separates the two. For my coursework I have decided to use the ‘mirror; as my tabloid and the ‘times’ as my broadsheet. I have chosen these because in themselves they are very different and it will be very interesting to see how they both compare mathematically.
In contrast to the layout of ‘The Sun’, ‘The Times’ puts this story on page three because it does not think it is newsworthy for the front-page and its style of readers. ‘The Times’ also has a smaller e-fit picture than ‘The Sun’, it is made up of two columns both of which have small paragraphs...
