Comparing Two Newspaper Articles - 971 Words

Comparing Two Newspaper Articles In the tabloid the article about Ritalin is much further back in the paper at page forty-one unlike in the broadsheet where the same article is on page nine, In my opinion this could be because in the eyes of the editor the story on health related issues is not in the interest of the reader. The tabloids title is short and is the exaggerated truth, Zombie drug boost. The word Zombie is very emotive because it reminds you of the living dead, it makes you scared of the thought of giving your child a drug that has such a severe side affects. Drug boost makes the reader think what increase of drugs? What has happened now? It is a very eye catching title†¦show more content†¦Although the sub heading is explanatory it is not a complex sentence, it does not contain many polysyllabic words. The broadsheets sub heading is much longer and more detailed, it is above the title because is it a short summary of the health related article and it is more informative of the argument raised. It contains many polysyllabic words (i.e. sanctioning, controversial, criticised and hyperactive.) because it is aimed at intellectual people and others interested in the issues pointed out. Both sub headings include the organisations that are to thank or blame for the drug increase. The sub headings subtlety makes the reader think why there has not been a solution to the problem before? Or why has there been such a problem getting the drug prescribed on the NHS? There is no photo on the tabloid article, in my opinion this because the article is small and not seen to be that important by the newspaper editor. The broadsheet has a large photo just by the side of the title in the centre of the page. The photo focus on Tony Bilbow and blurs the background to emphasis the importance of a parents point of view. Tony cares about his sons health and would never give his son a drug that was unsafe; this makes other parents feel the same because Tony Bilbow looks like an honest normal father. On the broadsheet there is also a second smaller photo of Joe Bilbow.Show MoreRelatedComparing Two Newspaper Articles2069 Words   |  9 Pages 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.

I hope to be able to find differences and similarities in both articles.

By placing the front page of the New York Times (NYT) and of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) side by side, the reader can piece together few similarities and a greater amount of contrast between the two.
