Aim:- to compare the readability of three different papers. A tabloid, quality and broadsheet. These papers are the sun, daily mail and the times. The aim of the investigation is to compare the papers to determine the readability of each in the terms of a word count and the distribution of articles and size.
There are many different newspapers that fall into the categories of broadsheet, quality or tabloid. Broadsheet papers are longer and much larger papers where the articles are concentrated at formal issues such as politics and finance. The language is more complex in these papers. Tabloid papers have smaller pages filled up with pictures and headlines. The language of this paper is more colloquial and the paper is mainly aimed at human interest. Quality papers have similar sized pages as the tabloids but have more writing per page. The articles are balanced between those in a broadsheet and a tabloid. When I take my information I will use papers from the same day to keep a fair test.
