Differnces between Tabloids and Broadsheets



'Hard' or 'Soft' News?

Hard- its up to the minute news this means its shows events which are reported immediately after it took place. Eg.  Economics, politics, war and crime. Usually refers to news which is serious and perhaps urgent. Its factual and formal tone of presentation. hard hitting political stories and current affairs.

Soft- The type of news is intended to entertain or inform the reader and refers to stories that are of human interest. Eg. Celebrity gossip, fashion tips, and technology. Informal tone of presentation. More feel good stories.

Differences between the daily mirror and the daily telegraph mastheads

The 'Daily Mirror' and the 'Daily Telegraph' have very different mastheads that reflect their styles and content. The Mirror uses bold, thick lettering and strong colours, which makes it eye-catching and suggests a lively, dramatic, and accessible tabloid style focused on celebrities, human-interest stories, and punchy headlines. In contrast, the Telegraph’s masthead uses a more traditional, elegant serif font, giving it a formal and serious appearance. This suggests more in-depth reporting on politics, business, and world news, aimed at a more traditional and conservative audience.





  • This suits the need for a tabloid as, it has quite informal language, eg. labours lost it.
  • Has alliteration of labours lost.
  • Very large bold font which is what tabloid should have.
  • Has a large image with minimal text.
     
  • Includes lots of formal language. Which is realistic.
  • Longer headlines.
  • smaller font of text and much more text.
  • sad storylines as-well.



Masthead- Title of the newspaper displayed on the front cover.
Caption- brief text underneath an image describing the photograph or graphic.
Headline- The main story.
Stand first- subheadings that appear in the text of the article.
Byline- where the name of the reporter is included at the beginning of the article.
Standalone- Block of text that introduces the story, normally in a different style to the body text and headline.
Splash- Picture story that can exist on its own or on a front page leading to a story inside.
Cross-head- a phrase that summarises the main point of the article. usually in a large print and in a different style to catch the attention of the reader. 
Pug- usually at top left and right hand corners of page displaying promotions, special offers or price of newspaper.

This is because the audiences can pay money to them by reading more of the news.  Ownership: Newspapers are not usually profitable but instead seen as a means of gaining social and political influence. As a result, they are often owned by rich individuals rather than a conglomerate.  How much control do owners have: Owners are not expected to interfere obviously with their newspapers.
