The title of the first paper that I am going to review is the Daily Telegraph. It is a broadsheet paper and is a very sophisticated paper. People that are of a higher class and more educated people tend to read this paper. The tone of the Telegraph is very informative and comments on the more legal side of the story, and is therefore is a more factual paper. It is slightly biased against Madonna and is very formal. The language used is also very serious. Madonna is one of a long list of celebrities that have decided to adopt a child from abroad. The start of the Daily Telegraph basically sums up what side the paper is on. “Madonna outraged child rights campaigners in Malawi yesterday” this is showing what side the paper is on and it is commenting on the legal side of the argument. Some of the features of the article are that it gives interviews from people all on the same side to make Madonna look like a bad person. The Daily Telegraph shows no sympathy towards Madonna or her family and is totally against her and the adoption.

The title of the second paper that I am going to review is The Daily Mirror. This is a tabloid paper and is mainly read by people of a lower class and people who prefer more pictures and more gossip. This paper comments very differently on the article. It tends to be on the side of Madonna, as if they are supporting her instead of scorning her. They do comment on similar points as the other paper but the language is different. However some ideas are different, such as what adoption is all about “it is about a parent finding a child” which is on the side of Madonna. In places this newspaper is slightly biased towards her.

Madonna has been lucky, because being a celebrity has helped her to adopt the child easily and quickly, but this is unfair on other people who want to create a family using the process of adoption. Some people may say that it is unfair how Madonna won her child. The effect of overseas adoption can also be hard on the child, as they may be sent back to their country of origin, which could be impossible after experiencing the life of luxury. Madonna has funded the orphanage, as a sign of her thanks, but ordinary people wouldn’t be able to do this as Madonna is a multi-millionaire. I think that it is unfair how Madonna gained the right to adopt David because I think it is mainly to do with her social status. I also think that it is not right to take a child away from their family, as there are many other babies who are orphans and need a loving home.

Both articles are covering the same story, but in a different way. The views of The Daily Telegraph and The Daily Mirror are different to each other in many ways. This is probably due to the fact of what type of people read their newspapers, as people who read The Daily Telegraph want to read about the real story and all of the information, whereas people who read The Daily Mirror want to read something that is interesting, and they prefer gossip and celebrities to politics.

In this paragraph I am going to explain the style the Sun uses: sensationalism (or hyperbole). This is where the media emphasises parts of the article to make it more dramatic and interesting.  An example of this is “Adam Ant freed on gun rampage” They have used this news heading to catch the readers attention.  Another couple of examples of sensationalism are “Threatening pub punters with a gun” and “Temporarily insane”.  The sun also uses mockery like a “fallen pop star” because it seems odd for a popstar to act like this.

In this paragraph I am going to explain the style the Daily Telegraph uses.  The Daily Telegraph has a style that is quite formal and factual.  An example of how I know this is “Avoided Jail yesterday after a judge said he was mentally ill”.  They have written in this style because they know that their readers want the truth and they want facts, unlike the readers of the Sun.  Another couple of examples to show the laid backness of the Daily Telegraph are “Threatened customer with an imitation pistol” and “voluntarily having psychiatric treatment”.

Tabloids and broadsheets also have different styles on the political battle of the Article of “Bush and Kerry”. The tabloid paper “The Mirror” is quite a biased paper towards Kerry and is in favour of him becoming the next President of the Unites States of America.  The mirror shows a lot of unique treatment between George. W. Bush  and John F. Kerry.  I know that the Mirror mocks Bush because it say in the text “Dabya” which is mocking how the people from Texas say his name as Bush is from Texas.  Also the mirror says : “glittering military career”. This is commentating on Bushes poor military past.  They are using sarcasm to tell the reader that Bush didn’t do his country’s duty.  Even at the very start of the article the headline says “Hero is Zero”.  This is being biased to one of the candidates and is putting the other down. Whereas the Times is quite a neutral paper, it is unbiased to the candidates and comments on the good points and bad points of both George W. Bush and John F. Kerry.  However as the papers article progresses  it slightly tilts in favour of Kerry winning. I know this because the Times says that Kerry is “The real deal” This show that the Times prefers Kerry to Bush.

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.
