Comparing front Page Articles
Daily mail:
- Dramatic moment Syrian refugee, 21, is pinned outside a takeaway as he becomes second man to be arrested over parsons green ‘bucket bomb’.
That Daily mail have targeted its audience by having an article that peaks there interest a bombing and a Syrian refugee that is being arrested on suspicion of being associated with a terrorist is what Daily mail fans want in a news paper.
The Daily Mail used relatively simple language on the front page which adequately describes the story in enough detail to urge readers to read on to see what happened next.
The daily Mail used a very serious tone for the front page description of what happened as this is quite a serious story.
On the front page there appears to be no bias or agenda its just the Daily Mail describing what happened.
The paper could have chosen this story in particular as Britain is currently trying to crack down terrorist activities, due to the previous attacks.
The Paper used quite drastic pictures in order to add to the effect of the story being a very serious one
- Flightmare up to 400,000 fight hit by Ryanair cancellation fiasco and up to 400 million plunge in airlines value.
Daily Mails target audience is the under 58’s and they are more likely to travel by plane, this makes this story more interesting to the readers of the mail as it could directly effect them or their friends/family.
While The Daily Mail do tend to dramatise a little they do give relevant information and stats for the readers. The language in the front page article does represent this as it does have language such as “battling” used over “trying” also they do have the statistics and facts on the header for the article.
The tone is rather dramatic as they use the word “battling” which makes the whole story more serious than originally seems not to say that the whole story isn’t rather serious, but the language selection does make it more in your face serious.
As far as the front article goes there isn't any bias. However I do doubt that the Daily Mail will cut Ryan Air any slack as far as the mess up that caused this whole situation.
It seems the Daily Mail has chosen this story as there target audience would be the most likely to be effected by this mess up as mostly 18-46 which are the most likely to be traveling and dealing with the money and booking side of the flight.
The Daily Mail didn’t use any pictures for the story but they did for the other stories around it but they did however has the title rather large in the middle.
The guardian:
- Britains debt time bomb: FCA urges action over £200 billion crisis.
The audience for the the guardian are 42% 15-34 this means that most of the people buy-in get news paper can or are looking to buy a house and while this article does talk about the financial situation in general it does touch on homes.
The Language used in the article is very formal and uses some sophisticate language this could be appeal to the more up market individuals who read the paper.
The Guardian use very formal and upfront language in the article in a way in such to invoke people to “call to arms” for lack of a better term. They do this as the target audience of the paper often respond well to a call for arms and make them get the next to how things are changing.
There is some what of of a bias in the article ad the paper seems to blame the government and thinks the government should have done something about it already or should at least bail people out from it now.
The Guardian probable chose this article as it has something to do with the younger audience compared to papers like the Daily Mail. This is because this article talks about things that they have to deal with and cause some drama which will boost reader ship of the paper this means that they will sell more copies of the paper.
The guardian at the start use a picture of some money and a few cards, this grabs attention right off the bat as this image of what literally make the entire world turn, next they use an image to show averaged debt around the UK by county. Finally they have. A stock image while the talk what they said from the FCA.
