A Comparison of Two Newspaper Articles In this piece of work I will be comparing two
newspaper articles about the same event. During the course of this
essay I will discuss how this event is ‘represented’ and identify any
‘biases.
Representation is when you show or present something through the
media. Bias is judgemental, and is also when a writer puts their own
opinion rather than facts.
In The Daily Mirror learning is represented by saying “learning can be
fun”, whereas in the Independent learning is represented by saying
“pupils play to learn”. In The Daily Mirror the writer has not
included much information about the course, and also has made quite a
lot of negative comments, for example the write has put a subtitle in
the middle of the page saying “Tomfoolery”; this simply means that the
course is about messing about, whereas in the Independent the writer
has included all the information about the course that the readers
will be interested in.
The writer of the Independent has made positive comments, for example
he has written “it is more of a relaxed atmosphere.
The two sculptures have some similarities and differences. They are both sculptures of the same subjects in very similar poses. Riemenschneider carved his sculpture from wood, while Michelangelo carved his from marble. I find Riemenschneider’s sculpture to be more appealing because of all of its intricate wooden details.
An analysis of Mycerinus and Kha-merer-nebty II and Augustus of Primaporta, reveals that there are many similarities, but also many differences between these two pieces of sculpture. These similarities and differences are found in the subject, style, and function of both works of art.

Comparing Two Sources There are disagreements and agreements between source A and source B. Source A was from a report written by a journalist Humphrey Tyler, who worked for a South African magazine. The report was written later on the same day that the shooting occurred. Source B was from an English newspaper, published the day after the shooting. Source A and source B both agree and disagree with each other over different things.
In contemporary society the attacks on itself are everywhere. The internet is a collection of articles poking fun at the trends of society, and more specifically, the actions of the youth. Shortcuts are used by the students of modernized societies, and a vile habit of complacency is shown in the article “Girl Moved To Tears by Of Mice and Men Cliffs Notes”, a satirical composition of mock journalism, that illustrates the apathy and laziness of a student. The article in The Onion utilizes incisive adverbs, litotes and understatement, and selection of detail to showcase the laziness of a student using the Cliffs notes.
News stories are covered several times and most of us do not even realize it. Although more recently many people get news in more similar mediums such as on the Internet because of the decline of newspapers. “Since 1940, the total number of daily newspapers has dropped more than 21 percent” (McIntosh and Pavlik, 119). Many times we do not realize the same story we read online was covered on our local news station and in our local newspaper, even further than that this same story is being covered in many different news stations, newspapers, and news sites all over the country and even the world. So what makes these stories different? Each time you read a news story from a different source something different happens to it. The different views and frames used by the source gives the reader a different take every time. I saw that first hand in my two stories. In my project I compared the same story of Mya Lyons, a nine year old girl who was stabbed to death.
the front page, it also has 1 or 2 images on the front page and
Compare and Contrast the Presentational, Structural and Linguistic Features of the Two Texts In both articles there are many features and techniques to capture the readers attention to be compared and contrasted. Some features are more effective than others are. One article may be more presentable, and eye catching than the other, however this doesn't mean that it is the better of the two. In this review, the differences between 2 articles; 'The weekly Telegraph' and 'The Straits Times' will be compared and analysed.
A Comparison of the Front Cover of a Tabloid Newspaper and a Broad Sheet Newspaper The main aim of this essay is to compare the front covers of a tabloid newspaper and a broad sheet of newspaper. The tabloid newspaper which I will be studying and analysing is the Sunday Mirror published on the 16th of May. Tabloid newspapers are very much different from a broad sheet newspapers in many different ways.
The effective use of rhetoric can spur people into action for worthy causes, bring about positive health changes, and even persuade one to finish a college education. In contrast, like most things in life, what can be used for good can also be used in a negative way to elicit emotions such as outrage, fear, and panic. This type of rhetoric often uses fallacious statements in an appeal to emotion which complicates the matter even more as the emotions are misdirected. Unfortunately, the daily newspapers are filled with numerous examples of fallacious statements. Within the past week, the following five examples appeared in the New York Times and USA Today. The examples included statements that demonstrated scapegoating, slippery slope, ad hominem, straw man, line-drawing, arguments from outrage, and arguments from envy.
The final newspaper, 'The Daily Recorder' is a strongly patriotic pro-government broadsheet. It believes in family values and in a British Identity. As newspaper A, 'The Planet', supports the government it would be very careful about the information it dispensed. It would not want people to know that there had been 150 civilian deaths because they had been caused in retaliation against the arrival of British troops.
The stories in The Sun seem like it has been written by no more than a
ways as I have explained in this essay. It is a fact that The Mirror
I intend to conduct research into the widespread fall of newspaper sales, and how the Internet is causing this, if it is even. Furthermore I will branch out into whether the journalists themselves are to blame, or simply because of citizens’ lack of interest in news, whether it is in the newspaper or the television. I will also investigate how people read their news; do they purchase a broadsheet? What interests them? How much does the Internet take the place of the newspaper? These are all questions and more that I intend to research thoroughly, perhaps with the help of the general public.
