Researching a News Article

Tuesday 22nd October 2013 Newspapers

The aim of this brief is to research. This afternoon I bought a few tabloid and broadsheet newspapers purchased on 22/10/2013. My aims are to read through them and chose a news article. I can chose any article I like, however we warned against choosing a depressing subject as we will have to present them. 

I purchased five newspapers (The Guardian, Daily Mail, Daily Star, Daily Mirror and The Sun) I decided that by buying five I could compare the different newspapers and the market aimed at. Also if my chosen news article might be reported in different ways in different newspapers which could be interesting. 






The majority of the newspapers have different story running on each front page. However, The Sun and The Guardian have got the same photograph of the mysterious blonde girl named Maria found in a gyspy roma camp with the couple accused of abducting her. The Daily Star has gone for a headline to shock the reader 'killer spider made my leg explode' as well as a graphic photo of the leg. The Daily Mirror has gone with the shocking news story about the 'White Widow', a mum who's ambitions for her son was to become a suicide bomber. 

Its interesting how newspapers use larger images or larger amounts of text to grasp the different audience.
