How News Differs Online To Print


Online news differs to printed news in many ways; for example, printed news generally shows snippets of a few different stories to bring in a wider audience, whereas online news has several small links under a main picture, online news websites also have different sections of news so people can just look at the sections they are interested in. Printed papers generally feature few stories that are highly focused upon, unlike online news which can upload many more stories in one day, furthermore, online news sites can quickly upload story developments on breaking news throughout the course of one day, along with having the ability to add videos to their articles so viewers can get much clearer pictures of a story. As shown by the pictures above, headlines are usually similar online and printed but online can go more in depth and use different images and add other story links underneath.

Stereotypes In Magazines And Advertising

Stereotypes


Age: stereotype that old people are always angry and shout at children - people perpetuate this because they think old people are angry when they see young people having happy lives because they can no longer do that.


Gender: the stereotype that women should be caring and stay at home doing traditional housekeeping chores, this is commonly shown because traditional ideals are still valued by older generations and people who have traditional views.



Ethnicity: the stereotype that black women are very manly and loud, this is used in media because they create good stories for entertainment.
Sexuality: stereotype that all lesbians are butch and manly - this is used because people like to use the idea that lesbian couples want to imitate heterosexuality.
Class: the stereotype that lower/working class people are all dirty and 'chavvy' which is perpetuated so that the class systems will stay in place which benefits upper classes and the government.

differences between broadsheet and tabloid

broadsheet: 

broadsheet papers are much more formal than tabloids, you could originally tell that these were broadsheets straight away because they were A2 sized; they have since become smaller in order to reduce costs. This type of paper is highly researched and factual, covering serious stories on subjects such as politics, finance and current affairs.  





tabloid:

tabloid newspapers are more informal than broadsheets, as depicted on the Daily Star's front page, the images, fonts and language are much more dramatic and sensationalised. The content of tabloids are less factually researched, speculation-based and obviously biased. the use of bold pictures and print along with slang are clear indicators of a tabloid paper.
