+*-The times and the mirror-*+



Tabloid or broadsheet     
Explain the differences between these terms and how it links to different audiences.


Tabloid - A tabloid are usually image-led, popular newspapers - commonly have 'red tops' which are the red mastheads and focus on the gossip instead of more dedicated news.

Broadsheet - Quality lead newspaper - More news content than pictures - Cost more to purchase - Offer an in-depth analysis of particular pieces of interest.



 

Ownership 

The times is owned by News Tv - A corporation. - The mirror is owned by Reach plc -the more individuals it goes through, the more concentrated it gets, the less opinionated it becomes.


Political bias:


To have a deeper understanding of newspaper we must have some knowledge of the British Political System, specifically English political parties. The political allegiance each paper has will impact what and how they report to their target audience.
Left-wing refers to a type of political position where people who hold these views support social equality whilst opposing forms of social hierarchy and inequality. They are assumed to be concerned about the disadvantaged in society, seeking to reduce or abolish any unjustified inequalities.
Someone with right-wing politics would have a political position that views social inequality or social divide as natural, normal, inevitable or even desirable. They will typically defend this political position on the basis of tradition, natural law or economics. Therefore, people with right-wing politics view society having hierarchies and the inequalities that result as being the natural outcome of traditional social differences or the result of competition in market economies.
