Comparison of a Broadsheet and Tabloid Newspaper

Firstly I will analyse the story written by the Sun, this tabloid covered the same story as the Times and therefore we can find out their intentions. The Sun had the following bold headline “Deadly strain confirmed”, I can clearly see from the start that they are trying to create a scare in the public and capture the reader’s attention very fast, this is because they don’t tell you what deadly strain they are talking about, if I were to see this in a newspaper lying around I would pick it up because it already got me worried and caught my attention. This has made me think, are they trying to inform the reader or just trying to sell their story? You only learn what the deadly strain is after you read paragraph 1 so this proves my point.

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

Journalists are infamous for their motivation to produce hard hitting editorials, twisting the truth for their own selfish benefit. Steve Chapman strays away from this stereotype by ensuring integrity in every article. Continuously, Chapman strives to present the public with his analytical opinions. Douglas Adams describes the drive of Steve Chapman; “To give real service, you must add something which cannot be bought of measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity”. Steven Chapman, who writes weekly op-eds for the Chicago Tribune, delivers insight into national headlines using suggestive rhetoric appeals to address the reader’s fears of uncertainty followed by accredited reasoning, a condescending tone targeted at the written subject, calling the reader for reformation within society, and dashes to separate general statements from definitive fact, shifting from a mission-based point of view to thought-provoking opinionated writing in order to spark motivation within his readers using his opinions so that they can take action to better their communities in hopes of improving future national development.

“Words of Fire,” by Anthony Collings, details the lives of different journalists in regards to free press and covering potentially dangerous stories. Anthony Collings is a former CNN reporter who shifted his focus from reporting to telling the story of journalists who have come under fire in a power struggle between government and free press. Collings puts free press into a spectrum, on one side there is the United States, where the press is largely free, and on the other side there are places like North Korea or China where press is largely restricted by the government. Collings does not focus on these extremes, but rather the places in the middle where there is an ongoing struggle between state power.

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

The way it describes how the soldiers shot the unarmed civilians makes me want to fight. It says they shot “four naked men,” which means they were unarmed and unable to fight back (Boston Gazette 2.) The picture “The Bloody Massacre” shows civilians getting shot but it doesn’t say there were four naked men being shot and killed (Revere.)

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

When comparing both articles’ online webpage, you can see the four main principles of design being followed: contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity. The contrast can be seen in both articles with their black wording against a white background. The repetition is evident in the fact that the same fonts and colors are used throughout the website and all of its articles, respectively. Alignment can be seen from both articles having their main article on the left, advertisements at the bottom, and latest news on the right. Finally, proximity can be seen in both articles when they group similar topics together and have links to different topics. Along with the webpage being formatted identically, the article itself is also formatted in a similar method. Both articles have a big, bolded headline that attracts the attention of the reader, use quotes from people involved, and present pictures as proof. In the Associated Press article, the author included quotes from the vice president of flight reliability for SpaceX and included a picture of the SpaceX rocket (Dunn). In the article from The Onion, the author included quotes from the president of Planned Parenthood and a picture of the “abortionplex” along with it’s floor plan. The Onion’s article obviously fabricated the quotes and pictures. One thing that sets the two articles apart, however, is that The Onion included the volume and issue of paper to create a greater sense of reliability. This explains why people mistake the article as a legitimate piece of journalism. The next step is to explain how the author uses the genre of journalism to incorporate the genre of satire.

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.

Prior to the time period of 1793-1795, the less radical group of the two branches of Jacobins, known as the Girondists, led the Legislative Assembly to declare war on Austria on April 20, 1792. This declaration of war against Austria further led to France’s war with Western Europe which included Austria, Prussia, Great Britain, Spain, Sardinia, and Holland who later created the First Coalition, an alliance between these countries to protect their social structures and political systems. The war against the majority of Europe brought threat to the achievements of the Revolution. In order to protect these achievements, France transitioned into an era of radicalness and began executing the mass of inhabitants that were painted as enemies of the

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.

News are more than just facts and information, it is knowledge that affects a human’s life by helping them stay up-to-date. News have the influence to communicate and aid an individual's outcome on how to make decisions. With that being, in today’s society there are thousands of media outlets around the world. Despite that media plays a major role in one’s life, often times publishers revise the truth and intertwine the event which ultimately has a major impact on the perspective and opinions that people possess as they get manipulated by these news outlets.By examining the event of the September 11 attacks (9/11) from the perspective of “The Guardian” and “The Los Angeles Times”, one can determine the similarities, differences, and the “truth”

The focus of the workshop was newspapers and their content such as reports and editorials. We identified the editorial line of a newspaper and looked at how the editorial is a letter written by the editor and how it can demonstrate different opinions. We looked at letters to the editor and how they were used as primary sources. We discovered as they are written by readers discussing issues, they help provide a useful insight on people’s concerns. We debated the benefits of newspapers such as that they give us a snapshot of peoples perceptions at the time. Limitation of using newspapers are that they are biased and generally contain propaganda.
