Comparing Two Newspapers

Comparing Two Newspapers

I am going to carry out an investigation about two newspapers to see

the difference between them. The two newspaper I am going to

investigate are called The Times which is a broadsheet and The Mirror

which is a quality tabloid. Before I start my investigation, I will

first of all plan what I'm going to investigate. My plan is to compare

the banner headlines, stories, adverts, words, languages, headlines,

tones, details etc.

Now I will start with the banner headlines. There is a lot of banner

headlines in The Times but they are less than The Mirror's banner

headlines. The Times' banner headlines are bigger than The Mirror's

banner headlines and they tell what type of stories they have written

in the newspapers.

The Mirror's masthead is overall bigger than The Times' masthead and

it is on the top left corner of the front page with no logo as The

Times' masthead has, which is in-between the word of The and Times and

it is below its banner headlines and above its main front page

headline.

There is no adverts in The Mirror, In The Times, there is a lot of

adverts and they are about DIY, cars, jewellery and mortgages. The

Times has more pictures and less colourful than the Mirror which is

likely not to attract readers to read their newspaper.

The Times has a lot of stories than The Mirror because the Mirror

front page is mainly covered with a large picture with its caption and

headline and The Times' stories filled half of its front page.

The Times' headline was printed in one of the computer writings,

covered one-twelfth of its front page and it is smaller than The

Mirror's headline which is written in one of the computer writings,

blocked in capital letter and covered one-third of its front page.

The tones of The Times' newspaper are very boring and it is emotional

and they are always objective in their arguments while The Mirror's

tones are very emotional, it is politically based and they are
