Comparing Newspapers

 

Comparing the different types of Newspapers 

A Middle Market Newspapers is one that attempts to cater to readers who want some entertainment from their newspaper as well as the coverage of important news events. For instance, Brexit updates or massive politic events that are happening daily

The Daily Mail is a clear example of a middle-market newspaper that uses a story based on Megan Markle, within the Royal family - which is proper news that people would want to know, as the Royal family is well-liked. Contrasting to a human interest story displayed on the top of the newspaper, to engage people and their feelings to the articles written.











The Daily Star shows celebrity drama and informal stories displayed with limited information and large titles covering the majority of the front cover. This is one example of a tabloid written to exploit Cheryl Cole, telling everyone how she is feeling and the ins and outs of her life at this current moment in time. The reason behind why specific audiences appeal to this type of newspaper is because the gossip is entertaining and is softer news than broadsheets, such as The Guardian. groups of people that tend to read these newspapers are mostly preferred by people from the middle social class, less educated, and the younger generation. As a result, the style and content of the newspaper shapes people's opinions into thinking a very one-sided portrayed point of view.








The Times is a broadsheet newspaper, using lots of factual body text to describe in detail what the story is about. Consequently, the main idea is to give the reader the chance to make their own judgements and arguments on the topic themselves. There are limited images and topics discussed that include Brexit, politics, sports, human rights, culture etc. - with very little images illustrated. Those who read broadsheets are stereotypically well-educated, relatively young, male and liberal audience centred around London.
