Statistical Investigation: Newspaper Comparison
For my statistical investigation coursework project, I have chosen to compare "The Sun" (tabloid) and "Financial Times" (broadsheet).
I will analyse both of those newspapers for context and style and make comparisons between them. I will consider amounts of space devoted to different items such as, images, articles and headlines. Most importantly I will be analysing the readability in terms of word lengths.
Finally I will conclude my investigation by commenting on the data collected and how my results relate to my initial hypothesis.
Tabloid: The Sun
Broadsheet: Financial Times
