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.
