Comparing Two Newspaper Articles
I'll be Comparing the front page story of two newspapers. One is from
a tabloid newspaper as the other is from a broadsheet. I'll put across
the diverse techniques that tabloids and broadsheets portray in their
front page story. Newspaper media is designated to notify, and aim an
interest to there audience. 'The Sun', 'The Express' 'The Daily Mail',
and 'The Mirror' are all examples of tabloid newspapers. Tabloids
mostly always have various feelings towards the media. 'The Times',
'The Independent', 'The Guardian', and 'The Daily Telegraph' are all
examples of a broadsheet newspaper. Broadsheets newspapers have a
reputation of being more of a specialized outlook to how they present
there stories as in language and layout of the story.
I comparing the front page stories of the 'The Independent' and 'The
Daily Mail'. Both of the newspapers have the front page story about
Sir Mark Thatcher the man who has been charge 'with helping to finance
a mercenary plot to topple the head of an oil-rich African state' and
now faces 15 years of jail. Both newspapers have an image Sir Mark
Thatcher being escorted from his home into a police car in South
Africa. Both newspapers have different layouts of the story as they
need to be eye catching in order to gain the public interest and in
order to sell. 'The Daily Mail' has used the image of Sir Mark
Thatcher and the head line of 'HE FACES 15 YEARS IN JAIL' to take up
more than 34 of the page. This type of layout is to be eye-catching
as the large picture and the large bold capitalized text wouldn't make
this news paper hard to miss.
The head line of 'HE FACES 15 YEARS IN JAIL' makes it seems that as if
some one was saying to you. The large text and bold letter makes it
seem like if it was meant to be said stridently.
In comparison to 'The Daily Mail', 'The Independent' uses a layout
that is not as eye-catching as the 'Daily Mail' but give a more
Society: According to Article 3 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1980), all people have the right to security of person and with offender in prison until 2027, society is safer to a certain extent. The victim had an extensive criminal history including stabbing her husband twice in the back in 2000, contravening domestic violence charges taken out by her husband in 2002 and a plethora of driving related charges dating back to 1989 ranging from DWI’s and driving unlicensed.
In the online article End Juvenile Life Without Parole is declares that two thousand five hundred and seventy adolescents have already been sentenced to die in prison nationwide. There is no hope for these young adults, regardless of what they do to repent their actions or to change themselves for the better or maybe even come to realization with the depth of the crime they have committed, they will simply never get a second chance. Juvenile crime has already made obvious progress, “in the mid-1990s, violent juvenile crime declined, and it has continu...

A lot of pressure is put on Governments to keep Hidley inside and whether or not she is to be released is now often stated in party political statements prior to elections, as it is feared that the overriding pubic opinion could win or lose elections. On November the twenty - first supporters of Hindley called for a review of sentencing procedures after Jack Straw reaffirmed the decision of his predecessor, Michael Howard, of never releasing Hindley from prison. The ruling came under immediate attack from penal reformers and civil liberties campaigners.
Firstly I looked at page 3 of ‘The Guardian’ on which I saw a big
The Sunday Times is a quality broadsheet newspaper aimed at the upper end of Britain’s readership and is a market leader with an average Sunday sale of 1,395,046 copies, which represents a 50.58% share of this area of the market. Clarkson, being an out and out Conservative, is immediately identifiable with the readership of the Sunday Times, and his ‘overgrown schoolboy’ approach presents as a welcome relief amongst the principally serious editorials of the papers other journalists. In ‘Behind Jeremy Lines’ the situation in Iraq is revealed as totally opposite to what the politicians would have us believe, this is made apparent in the title of the article. Behind the lines in a military sense and behind the lines of what is being reported. Clarkson takes the opportunity here to ‘bash’ two of his pet hatreds, Blair’s Labour Party and the Bush administration of the U. S.A.
A narrative essay is about storytelling for a narrative story to work it must capture and hold the audience attention you must give a clear understanding of your story. A descriptive essay lets you describe in detail what the essay is all about using words that appeal to your sense of smell, hearing, see, touch, and taste. A descriptive essay lets you use words that describe a person, place, or object. When I compare the author’s narrative essay “Are the Rich Happy?” by Steven Leacock and the author’s descriptive essay “Sister Flowers” by Maya Angelou it is clear that there are many similarities and differences between the two styles of writings. Descriptive essay is the most effective writing. It not only gives the reader a broader perception of the message but also, helps in broadening the mind of the reader. An effective writer does not allow the reader to make conclusive ideas about their work. Narrative essay is evidently, less effective than descriptive essay. It narrows down every item and makes conclusions for the reader.
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.

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...

“Well, if we live in a world where the government could tell us what we can and cannot print, then The Washington Post as we know it has already ceased to exist.” Tom Hanks as the character of Ben Bradlee states in the 2018 film The Post. He was conveying the belief that if the government won the court case, The Washington Post would no longer exist. The film, The Post, directed by Steven Spielberg, is an entertaining, yet effective way of learning the now quiet topic of rebelling in order to save the freedom of the press. It shows how Americans defended the First Amendment during the Vietnam war through the publishment of stolen government documents known as the Pentagon Papers.
