In this section I do a research on four different newspapers. The first one is The Independent. The second one is Financial Times, the third one is The Guardian and the last one is The Daily Telegraph. These newspapers were all reported on 13 August 2007.
The Guardian is consists of 33 pages, and the top story is an event about murder. Some one has been killed on the motorway. The introduction on page 1 writes as “Motorcyclist shot dead on motorway”. It has a brief description about this event and reader can find this news on page 5. This event takes one fifth on national pages. The reporter is Chair Shaikh. When I compare to other newspaper, I find that different newspaper have different sections. As The Guardian, page 1 to page 3 is ordinary news. Page 4 to page 13 is the national section. Page 14 to page 20 is the international section. Page 21 to page 23 is the financial section. Page 24 is the economic section. Page 25 to page 27 is the comment debate section. Page 28 to page 29 is the reply section. Page 30 to page 31 is the renew section. Page 32 is the weather section.
Look at The Daily Telegraph. The top event on the day is the murder event too. It reported as “Hell’s Angel shot dead riding his bike along motorway”. This news reported at the first page and the writer is Bonnle Malkin. The newspaper consists of 30 pages. Pages 1 are some brief descriptions about top news. Pages 2 to page 12 are some ordinary news. Page 14 to page 16 is the world new section. Page 17 is the big full-page advertisement. Page 18 is the fashion section. It tells people how to buy some good clothes and some useful ways to make their life beauty. Page 19 is very interesting. It is the introduction part, it introduce some good houses in
The third one I have read is The Independent. The top news on the day is the religious events. The topic is “Amnesty vs. the Catholic Church”. It takes half position of the first page. This is very different from other newspaper. This newspaper is consists of 63 pages. The sport section takes 20 pages. Another different from those newspapers is that it does not have the comment section and it provides the editorial and opinion section to the readers.
The last one I have read is Financial Times. This newspaper is only consists of 14 pages and the top news on the page one is the business news, it proves the financial news. Page 2 to page 4 is the national section. Page 5 to page 8 is the world news. Page 9 is the analysis section and it is different from other newspapers. It provides some good analysis about financial events. Page 10 is the letter section. Page 11 is the comment. Page 12 is the business life section. Page 13 is the art and TV section. Page 14 is the weather section.
Compare to each newspapers, I find that they are all very different. Each newspaper have their own way to report the news but all the newspapers use a few pictures and the writers use lots languages to describe the events. You can use your imagination when you read the words. The comment section always consists of two sections. One is the editorial section, this section express the views of the newspaper. Another section is the letters section. This section provides some opinion from outside world. It is usually different to the newspapers’ opinion. But they are all very useful for us. Compare to these comments. We are not only read the news. After we read the comments, we can find the news behind the news.
