In the nineteenth century, the “History wars” became the fight between the most prominent historians revolving around the deception of frontier conflict between the labor and coalition. The debate aroused from the different interpretations of the violence that took place during the European colonization and to what degree. It became a crisis in history, emerging from the dispossession of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders (ATSI) that resulted in exclusion of their traditions and culture. The ATSI were the first people of Australia that brought along a different culture, language, kinship structures and a different way of life (Face the Facts, 2012). Post European colonization was a time where the ATSI people experienced disadvantage in the land they called home. With the paramount role as future educators, it demands proficient knowledge on the Australian history and one of the most influential moments in our history started from the first European settlers.

This is a theme that is still very much present in today’s society. To begin with, Thatcher describes Kane’s founding of The Inquirer as a “philanthropic enterprise”, and Kane asserts that its purpose is to “look after the underprivileged.” However as Kane’s business and power grow, these morals begin to disintegrate. He begins to lie – Welles appropriates a famous line of Hearst’s – “you provide the prose poems, I’ll provide the war” – to depict the beginning of ‘yellow journalism’, in which the journalism makes up news which will shock and sell the paper, whether or not the story is actually
The Modern Time Period started at the beginning of the 20th Century. Writing soon transitioned from Romantic and Victorian and adapted a new style known as modernism. Modernist did not care to write about nature or history, unlike the Romantic writers, but instead, modernists dealt more with exploration and independence of one's self. Literature, during the Modern Era, developed a sense of alienation and it dealt with the acknowledgement of the individual and one’s consciousness. Modern writing showed the deterioration and alienation of the individual rather than prosperity and development. The Modern Time Period was an intuitive response to the Victorian Era. Modernism was started by cultural shocks; the greatest of these shocks was World War One ("Modernism." - Literature Periods & Movements. N.p., n.d. Web. 31 Jan. 2014.). During this time, Britain was engulfed in the war; although the war was not fought on Britain’s home soil, men enlisted into the Royal Military leaving behind women and children and the elderly. The remaining citizens were known as the Home Front. The war affected the Home Front by decreasing the standards of living, promoting women’s rights, and strengthening the trade unions and labor forces (BBC News. BBC, n.d. Web. 04 Feb. 2014.). Although the Home Front was made up civilians whom were not active in the military, Rupert Brooke decided to join the Royal Navy when Britain entered into the war. Rupert Chawner Brooke was born on August 3, 1887 in Britain. Brooke was an excellent athlete and student. He attended Cambridge University and studied English Literature and Classic Literature. After finishing his studies at Cambridge, Brooke travelled to Germany to continue his education. Rupert became friends with o...
...ers. Tabloids aim to mainly create emotion amongst readers, where as a broadsheets aim to inform its readers. Readers of a tabloid are normally less educated and interested in issues that affect them. On the contrary, a broadsheet reader is expected to be more educated, of a higher socio-economic group and take interest in business and international related affairs. Therefore, the layout and language change to suit the reader. The layout is similar in both papers in the sense they both use pictures and columns. However, ‘The Sun’ chooses to put the story on the front-page and presents it on a larger scale. Language is more technical in the broadsheet and has been used only to inform. ‘The Sun’ is biased towards Sarah Payne and her family and uses a less informing tone unlike broadsheets. A particular message is also apparent in ‘The Sun’. In my opinion, both types of newspapers have successfully satisfied their aims.
"Before Silicon Graphics, Clark said a fortune of $10 million would make him happy; before Netscape, $100 million; before Healtheon, a billion; now, he told Lewis, 'Once I have more money than Larry Ellison, I'll be satisfied.'

The newspaper industry presaged its decline after the introduction of the television and televised broadcasting in the 1950s and then after the emergence of the internet to the public in the 1990s and the 21st century with its myriad of media choices for people. Since then the readership of printed media has declined whilst digital numbers continue to climb. This is mostly due to television and the internet being able to offer immediate information to viewers and breaking news stories, in a more visually stimulating way with sound, moving images and video. Newspapers are confined to paper and ink and are not considered as ‘alive’ as these other mediums.
