Articles Comparison.

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.
