The second largest difference is the detail that is used by the two newspapers.  The broadsheet newspaper used a lot more detail then that of the tabloid newspapers.  Where the tabloid newspaper reports “Five people have died,” the broadsheet newspaper would say “Four elderly people died yesterday in a food poisoning outbreak that has already claimed one life”.  As you can see the broadsheet newspaper has used a greater amount of detail that the tabloid newspaper did when reporting on the deaths.  Not only has the broadsheet newspaper used more detail in reporting the incident, but also, the broadsheet newspaper obtains more expert opinions and interviews and reports on a wider range of those involved.  For example, where the tabloid newspaper only used the opinion of one person, a public health consultant, the broadsheet newspaper used the opinions of more people, they obtained accounts of a public health consultant (the same consultant as used by the tabloid newspaper) and they used the account of the defendant in this case.  Not only does the broadsheet newspaper use more detail in the number of accounts they obtain and use, but also, they use accounts of people who are on both sides of the story so that the article that they use is not biased but is fair.  The tabloid newspaper would have used one opinion so that it would play more on the emotions of the readers, which is the language and layout style of the newspaper as this is how the newspaper attracts its customers and readers, “FIVE die after eating poisonous meat pies.”

There are other differences between the two newspapers; another of the main differences is the layout of the two newspapers.  Both of the newspapers have a title/heading, both of which are different; the headline of the tabloid newspaper is a lot bigger and bolder than the headline of the broadsheet newspaper which is small and acts as a subheading as well as a headline.  In the layout of the tabloid newspaper there are pictures of the people involved, this is different to the broadsheet newspaper as the pictures used in this layout are for advertisement only.  The rest of the space is then used for the writing and reporting of the articles, you then find that there is a lot more space left for the broadsheet newspaper article, in which you find that the article in the tabloid newspaper is not time consuming and gives you a customary account of what happened by not going into a lot of detail of the story, “FIVE people have died in Britain’s worst food poisoning epidemics.”

Overall there are many differences between the two newspapers.  To me the fundamental difference between the two newspapers is the language used, as the language used leads on and affects the styles and layout of the whole newspaper.
