Hard and Soft news - Tabloid and Broadsheet



Tabloid and Broadsheet structure 


- Tabloid newspaper 

The structure of this newspaper is split into boxes , which looks more appealing , also there is use of images instead of load of text , which also grabs your attention . The bottom part of this newspaper "the sun next Sunday" grabs your attention with the black background and the white text , and makes you want to read on . The sun usually covers soft news because its celebrity gossip and light hearted stories which make you want to find out about them quickly and easily. The sun uses slang / they shorten words instead of writing there full name which connotes a young audience and shows its targeted audience is males & females from the sports and the celebrity gossip .  







- Broadsheet newspaper

The Times newspaper structure is very text based and wouldn't really appeal to a younger audience compared to the sun , which is less text and would appeal to a mix audience . The times costs more compared to the sun which shows this newspapers is more appealing to business people / older aged / upper class newspaper readers. This particular story is classed as hard news because terrorist acts are serious issues. The times usually only covers hard news stories to maintain its audience needs.
