What do you notice about the different in content and how the articles convey this information? Why do you think that is ?
The Times: The language used was much more detailed and informative. Approach to the story appears to be respectful and formal. The Times is a broadsheet and is generally formal and informative. The Times used a variety of quotes from witnesses such as "I heard shouting," and "It's been very tense". Used a more holistic approach, looking at multiple factors of the story.
Daily Mirror: The language used it wasn't much detailed and informative like The Times. The Daily Mirror made the article more personal, getting straight into the story of the article. The Mirror is a tabloid and therefore attracts its readers attention with dramatic stories. Centered the article around the children. Mentioned the children names, Gabriel and Maria, used their images and used the quote said by the father and suspect, "Maybe they are not my kids"
This may be because readers of The Times would be more
interested to know information on why the attack could have occurred rather
than who was involved in the attack whilst readers of The Daily Mirror want to know
what happened and who it happened to, then they will move on to a different
scandal or attack.
