Newspapers: Broadsheet Vs. Tabloid
Comparing the different techniques used by broadsheet and tabloid newspapers in writing reports and articles.
The language and detail between the Mirror and the Times is massively different, even though both articles compare the military background of these two candidates as a factor whether they are suitable to be president, but the Mirror uses a rhyme “Hero is Zero” to show that contempt to Bush, and their praise towards Kerry. Also the mirror is less formal and is sort of sarcastic towards George W. Bush. However the times uses a metaphor as a headline “Let battle commence” to show the battle between candidates. The Times use a formal language to address the reader and is quite evenly commented on Kerry and Bush. The Times uses a lot of detail whereas in the Mirrors article pictures are more prevalent.
In conclusion after much analysing of the tabloids and broadsheets and both articles and reports, I have found that both use many different techniques to put their message across to cover the same story. Therefore I conclude that the articles and reports analysed are completely different in language, style and detail. The different papers, tabloid and broadsheet, meet the requirements of the different social classes that make up the population and differ quite clearly in their style.

No they don’t. they are actually quite similar in language and lexical approaches. You have to take a pragmatic method and try looking at the language at a purely textual level, you will have different results I guarantee.
