Articles Comparison.
The Telegraph | The Sun | |
Tittle | Public sector pensions strike threatens holiday chaos | Airports warn of strike day chaos |
Language | Formal Language | Informal language being used Informal writing for example the use of unnecessary quotations in 2nd, in the 3rd last paragraphs |
Paragraphs | The quote is for trusted source from UK Border Agency (1st paragraph) | The quote is untrusted, from just spokes man BBA (1st Paragraph) |
LENGTH. | Its long enough t explain the situation between the Airport workers and the authorities responsible for their pay. | It is very short that you only get one side of the situation |
Evidence and opinion poll. | The Telegraph introduced a poll were the public thinks on how they thought of the strike. | The Sun does not give the reader an expression of opinion, neither does it justify the report with a data sheet i.e graph or a pie chat. |
Figures | The Telegraph does give figures to show exactly to the readers how many people will be affected.. | It lacks any chats and tables to show exactly how many people are affected.. Chats and graphs could be helpful for the readers. |
Language | Its careful and caution with their expression i.e “Passengers have been warned to expect lengthy delays at airports and ferry terminals.” | It is not cautious with the language it uses in on the photo caption i.e” Nightmare ... airports are warning passengers to expect misery on Wednesday |
Writers. | The writers are trusted Journalist with their names on the articles. | The Sun relies on staff reporters. Its unprofessional and you cant trust the information since no name given. |
Reference. | The paper references the photo by AFP | It does not reference any work for the photo. |
Conclusion.
The both papers create an awareness and information about the strike. However The sun try to lean on one side of the story. The Telegraph i s better recommended to any one who want to get true information and right news about the story. The sun lacks to give a name of the writer which means the information is untrusted.
