The Differences between Malaysia's Leading Newspapers

Comparing two newspaper articles, one from a tabloid and one from a broadsheet will convey the different techniques that tabloids and broadsheets use to present stories.

Tabloids are papers like ‘The Sun’, ‘The Mirror’, ‘The Daily Mail’, ‘The Express’ and ‘The Star’. In contrast to these are broadsheets like ‘The Times’, ‘The Guardian’ and ‘The Daily Telegraph’. Broadsheets are often known as the ‘quality press’ being more informing and formal in the manner they convey information and news stories.

The timeliness of the news article is demonstrated as it was made before the featured article (reported the South Carolina house voting which came first before the Governor signing the bill). The headline, lead, and the article itself have no emotions/tone when read (headlines, the overall article, and the lead are to be neutral when read by the reader). The lead answers strictly the 5 Ws and how it doesn't feature a list, a then-now, and other methods of writing leads for features articles. The structure of the news article utilizes an inverted pyramid. The more important information is featured at the beginning of the article (the amount of essential information decreases). For example: the writers discuss the ruling of the South Carolina House of Representatives within the first paragraph of the article (“The final vote in the State House of Representatives, 94 to 20, was well above the two-thirds majority required to move the bill to the desk... in Charleston.”) and decreases as one goes through the article. The last paragraph does not tie back tie back into the lead (another feature for news article). “It means the world to us,” Mr. Rutherford said, “that we can move a symbol of division off of our front yard.” has no affiliation to the lead as the lead did not state the impact/feedback of what took place.

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

Also one big difference I came across is the language in the Washington post article were more urgent compared to the other 2 newspaper companies. Also, the Washington post articles were significantly longer than the other 2 newspaper companies. The media portrayal of the DC Sniper differed based on the newspaper company. The Washington Post uses quotes from the citizens to show the portrayal of the DC snipers. Also, in the Washington Post articles they portray the snipers as monsters doing these senseless acts of violence on the community making all the citizens live in fear. The other two newspaper companies mainly just talk about the events. They don't go into very much detail about the snipers

Since this presentation should be related to the specific part of the journalism, the newspaper journalism, I decided that it would be suitable to present a story, showing how the journalism can change, manipulate and have serious impact on the society as well as on the stability of the country itself.

Visually looking at the two different covers, the amount of space given to the 2-3 major stories was about the same. In both, the biggest space was taken by the pictures. In the NYT, an image of stalled cars on the highway in Atlanta took the biggest space and the next biggest was an image of two children crying with a chard car behind them. In the WSJ, there was a collection of charts that displayed data about the stock market and another of stranded people sleeping in a store in Atlanta. Both of the newspaper share this trait, the most of space going to the pictures. Another similarity would be that the written articles shared length, for example in the NYT the story of obesity and Russian missile test were about the same and in the WSJ the articles of Reid and movie productions were also about the same.

One of the new learnings I achieved is to be able to use the word press based computer system, which the newspapers use to blog their headlines and websites. Also, in my opinion, it was thrilling to observe the stages Gazette go through to end up with a finalized product. At the end of all, the team compare other weekly local newspapers which London Turkish Gazette competes with. The knowledge I picked up was not limited to just editing, but also learnt how the pricing lists for each column provided to writers and to advertisement owners work, and moreover when comparing Avrupa Gazette and Olay Gazette to Turkish Gazette, style and content of the papers were completely different; London Turkish Gazette consisted of more pages as one side of the paper is English and the other side is written in Turkish in order to reach more readers, which I find it to be an effective strategy to develop the quality of the

There are two types of newspapers - Broadsheets and Tabloids. Broadsheet newspapers are targeted at those who like more realistic approaches to news.

One could say that the news is constituted of an accurate, balanced and timely reportage on the events of the day, or a combination of what will interest and engage the public. But the primary point is that news never just ‘happens': what appears in a bulletin is an attempt to a comprehensible interpretation of selected events, and as such is never wholly value-free. (cf. Barnard 2000: 139-149)
