Newspaper and Media

    In Britain most newspapers are daily,they are publish every day.Other newspapers are published every Sunday.The difference between tabloids and the broadsheet is the size and the contents.Tabloids newspapers represent some shorts articles and too many pictures e.g.,Metro.However,the broadsheet newspapers   are more quality and represent big articles and more serious e.g The Guardian.

The headlines for three different newspaper on Wednesday (03/02/2011) were:

• The Guardians: "Egypt protests erupt in fresh violence"
• The Sun: "Blood on the Nile"
• Metro: "It is a pirate life for Doctor Who"  

    As we can see The Guardians which has more quality content, represents world news and said  about serious facts.On the other hand Metro and the Sun are more about gossip and more interesting news.There is also one similarity on the headlines which most newspapers do not use verbs.
