Comparing the Ways in Which a Tabloid Newspaper and a Broadsheet Newspaper Treat the Same News Story

Clay Shirky who wrote Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable (1993) argues that society doesn’t need newspapers society needs journalism to save society. Shirky supports this argument by giving a historical background to the problems newspapers face and how the problems have developed over time and the solutions society has came up with. The blogger concludes that in order for journalism to go farther new models must be created in place of past molds. Shirky directs this blog toward the current and future generations in attempt to motivate new models and methods of journalism.

On the 3rd of February 1998, a U.S. military jet sliced the wire of a

The Courier-Mail was the most interesting with an attempt at humour that fell well short of the mark for most readers. As we would expect, this newspaper,The Australian, approached the story with the required formality. We always do. The Week focused on the actions of the police to ‘foil the plot’ while The Age tried to follow the approach of its main competition The Australian by remaining formal.

On the other hand, ‘The Times’ targets socio-economic group C+. Further more, the broadsheet is targeted at the age group 30+ and readers absorbed in financial, political or other international matters or events. Therefore, the broadsheet is associated with educated and capable readers:

The purpose of this report is to analyse journalism practices employed in newspaper reporting across different outlets and to analyse if the practice was in line with the media

Killed for throwing snowballs. If I was alive during this time I would have been enraged about civilians being killed over throwing snowballs. I believe that Boston Gazette 2 is more persuasive because it gives the full story of what happened, gave specific details on the way the red coats brutally shot the civilians, and describes the lurid details of the shooting

Newspapers and other forms of news are very vital communication methods in the world today. The goal of news is to sell us their ideas by being biased and talking about how their idea is best. News can give us biased information although, the viewer could do further research on the

Despite being printed for the same date, in this case January 30th, 2014, the distinction can still be made, and by this it can be said that if the titles of the newspapers were removed it would not be hard to distinguish one from the other. By placing the front page of the New York Times (NYT) and of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) side by side, the reader can piece together few similarities and a greater amount of contrast between the two. These are especially true when looking at the stories that were covered, the amount of space some stories took compared to others, and the slants many of the headlines took.

Have you ever thought about what people back in the day read in their spare time since we all just immediately get on our phones? I compared and contrasted the August 2015 Time magazine, and the June 4th 1864 edition of Harper’s Weekly. I have come to the realization that when people say times have changed, they are not kidding. It is crazy to read in between the lines and see how Americans lived over 150 years ago. The way things are placed and discussed are very different in both Harper’s Weekly and Time Magazine, but the two are similar in some ways also.

Reading a short story or novel or poem has author opinion and creative idea. However, a newspaper article is base a true story and author write creatively this situation as news article. After read article I remark author handle this story very creatively. I feel like I watch a real story. So, story should influence how we read the piece.

The purpose of this text is not to tell readers only how Princess Diana died but also who’s responsible for the death and criticize them. However the news report failed to achieve their purpose they lacked to criticize the press, who were responsible for the death. Apparently BBC does not do a good job because they do not understand rhetoric and how it is situational. As a speaker they seem to be very boring and their details are not specific. News Report now these days have

For this assignment, we were assigned to look at a newspaper at three different time in history on our birthday. I was born on February 19 so I look at 1995, when I was born, twenty years earlier in 1975, and then twenty years before that in 1955. I decided to use the New York Times as my paper to research and my topic was to look at crime reporting. This paper will look at the similarities and differences on how journalists of that decade reported on crime. Some points that will be brought up is the content and writing style, the visual element of the article, and how the differences reflect the year they were published.

newspapers as one is a redtop and one a blacktop. The Daily Mail is a

In ‘Tragedy, The Enquirer, and the Critics’ the authors talks about all tabloids being very similar in the sense of them all writing modern versions of tragedies. This became more obvious the closer i analyzed these magazines. For instance, in Life and Style magazine one of the main articles was about how Tim Mcgraw has lost weight. First hand it that seems like a good thing but the further you get into the actual article it talks about how unhappy he was with himself before he went and lost all the weight. In the end of course he is happy with where he is now. Magazines like Life and Style tend to be more of a good outcome story while magazines like The Enquirer are not.They usually go with a harsher story. For example, an article about Matthew Perry’s relapse. They talk about Matthew going in out of rehab and how everyone believe he was sober but was evidently not anymore.
