Like THE TIMES,THE GUARDIAN,THE INDEPENDENT,THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, they belong to Broadsheet. Most of the articles are about politics and other serious news. Its most prominent feature is more text and fewer pictures. The others like THE SUN,THE DAILY NEW,THE DAILY MIRROR, they are relating to human interest stories with more pictures,less text and simpler English.
The next section, I just choose an example of each what is about Meryl Streep. In THE TIMES, the headline is "Revealed: Meryl Streep as Thatcher". Only one picture on it. However, with eye-catching headline in THE SUN, it is "Maggie's back in Downing Streep". And there are more pictures with described at great length using simpler English. In addition to these there are many different information between them. For example, in THE TIMES it contains news which are politics,health,education,technology and evironment. Like other serious news, there are opinion, business, money, sport, life, arts, puzzles and papers in THE TIMES. And it is always favored by older people. In contrast, there is no papers in THE SUN. It is the best for box news, sport, showbiz and celebrities. So that's why THE SUN is very popular and many young people like it very much.
Yes - that particular headline is interesting as it is about a famous American actress who will play the ex PM Margaret Thatcher in a film. I'm not sure if that is a serious story for the front page of the Times - do you?
ReplyDeleteI think the Sun is clever, because it uses a play on words - the actresses surname Streep instead of Street!
