A Project comparing two different newspaper articles and the difference between Tabloid and Broadsheet Newspapers
Introduction
On 3rd February 1998 an American jet collided with the wire of a cable car. One car fell 300ft to the ground and another was left hanging in mid-air. 20 tourists died at the winter resort of Mount Cermis.
For this project I am going to analyse two newspaper articles on the above event.
. The Times - a broadsheet newspaper aimed at a more intelligent, middle class member of society
2. The Mirror - a tabloid newspaper aimed at the average person, Tabloids make stories seem more interesting by use of dramatic words
Broadsheet newspapers are very "matter of fact" and do not try and make stories any more or less interesting or exciting than they really are. Tabloid newspapers sensationalise events to make them more exciting. They use big headlines and large print to draw the reader in to read articles.
