Write a comparison of two articles on the same story from a tabloid newspaper and a broadsheet, explaining how the two pieces are appropriate for the newspaper for which they were written. The British are among the most avid newspaper consumers in the world. Within the British press there is a wide range of newspapers to choose from. ... British newspapers fall loosely into two categories: tabloid and broadsheet. The word tabloid actually describes the size of the paper (half that of a broadsheet). Actually tabloid newspapers tend to be quite different from broadsheets in style and content as well as in size. A tabloid has large proportion of the page which is given to masthead, headlines and pictures. A broadsheet has a much greater proportion of text than tabloid. Several stories rather than one main story. ... Tabloid stories are generally shorter, while broadsheet stories are more in-depth. ... In most cases the lead story will be the same. ... The total area of the paper that is given over to pictures is likely to be far greater in the tabloid. ... One of the main differences in style between tabloid and broadsheet is this use of images. ... The term news can be divided into two areas, hard news and gossip. Hard news is the type of story that has some substance to it. ... The two articles I have chosen to compare are both exploring the story of Frank Bruno being hospitalized under the mental health act. The articles fundamentally are contrasted through “The Daily Mirror” being a tabloid newspaper and “The Daily Telegraph” being a broadsheet newspaper.
