Newspaper Comparison
I am going to investigate the following statements :
· The sizes , number of pages , area of print and cost of different
newspapers.
·The relative importance , status and space given to various items.
I can find this information from a number of newspapers that I will
buy in shops this should give me a good understanding of the
information I need to retrieve in order to complete my investigation.
Therefore to complete my investigation successfully I will need to
work from three various newspapers these newspapers will be of
different types. The newspapers are as follows :
· A Tabloid Newspaper - The Mirror
·A Broadsheet Newspaper - The Guardian
· A Free Newspaper - The Wirral Globe
I have chosen these three sources of information to analyse as they
are reliable as I know I can relate back to the material to check and
double check my results and analysis. I think that this method of
analysing with three different sources is fair as if I just compared
one type of newspaper then my results would be biased as the papers
would contain similar pages dedicated to the same topics. There are
many different styles of article between these three papers and I
think this makes the coursework a fair test. I have also found that
these papers have a reading age of under 15 so I will find it
reasonably easy to understand
I know that the material I am using for my maths coursework is
reliable as I can always relate back to the three newspapers at any
point in my investigation. I am also using Excel - Database which I
can use to work out formulae as well as collecting data.
I will use a sample of size as I am analysing three different
newspapers : A Broadsheet Newspaper, A Tabloid Newspaper, A Free
Newspaper.
This will be a fair sample as I will look at the sport sections in
each newspaper and the date of each newspaper this will ensure my
I am going to record the number of letters in each of the first 100
Newspaper Comparisons Introduction For this statistical coursework I will compare the length of words in tabloid and broadsheet newspapers. My sources are 'The Sun' (a tabloid) and 'The Times' (a broadsheet). Predictions / Hypotheses * Broadsheets, on average, use long words, while tabloid newspapers generally contain shorter words than broadsheets. * Tabloids have a wider variation in the number of letters per word than broadsheets * The most common (modal) number of letters per word for a broadsheet is between 5 and 8, while the most common number of letters per word in a tabloid is between 4 and 7.

Comparing Tabloid and Broadsheet Newspapers In the last century, English newspapers have been categorized into two main groups: Tabloids and Broadsheets. The Telegraph and The sun are the most popular Tabloids and Broadsheets. Hollinger International owns the Telegraph while the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch owns the Sun, The Times and The BSkyB Television network. These papers are perfect examples of British newspapers.
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.
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.
main story is on the front page so that people can see at a glance the
A Comparison of Two Newspaper Articles In this piece of work I will be comparing two
Comparing two newspaper articles, one from a tabloid and one from a broadsheet will convey the different techniques that tabloids and broadsheets use to present stories. Media in general, aim to inform and interest the audience which consist of many different types. Diverse emotions and ideas are created by the media; foremost tabloids. Tabloids are papers like ‘The Sun’, ‘The Mirror’, ‘The Daily Mail’, ‘The Express’ and ‘The Star’. In contrast to these are broadsheets like ‘The Times’, ‘The Guardian’ and ‘The Daily Telegraph’. Broadsheets are often known as the ‘quality press’ being more informing and formal in the manner they convey information and news stories.

Comparison of News Reports The idea of this assignment is to compare and contrast two newspaper reports on the same incident. The articles concerned are taken from The Mirror and The Times, both published on the 4th of February 1998. The Mirror is considered a tabloid newspaper. Tabloid papers usually cover all national and international news.
Analysis of Newspaper Reports For this story, the Daily Telegraph uses the headline "Girl frozen alive on her own doorstep," this is just stating the facts. This is common in broadsheets; they do not tend to sensationalise stories like tabloids do, just state the facts. The Daily mail uses the headline "The Ice Girl who came back from the dead. " This uses intertextuality. ' The ice girl' has been altered from 'the ice maiden,' a well-known phrase.
A Comparison of Three Newspapers In this investigation I am going to compare and analyse three newspapers to see how readable the three newspapers are. I will be using The Times in tabloid sheet format although the articles are still the same, The Journal local paper and a The Daily Mirror the tabloid newspaper. I will be investigating several factors to represent the readability of the three comparative newspapers. I will therefore need to use mathematical methods to show my collected data in a clear and precise way.
In the Sun the article is laid over two pages: the front page and the
