Newspapers

Tabloids:

The sun

The times

Morning star

 

They all have very attention grabbing headlines in bold, large fonts to be the first thing that you see when viewing the newspaper. They are the main thing that gets readers to choose that paper and so must be bold and bright; containing photos to give an added factor. Puns are often used or alliteration as literary devices to add something to a possibly boring title.

 

Broadsheet:

The herald

The courier

The wall street journal

 

Many have a larger amount of writing with a smaller font as the initially contain more information rather than short and snappy titles. Some contain images on the front of the paper that consume a reasonable amount of space to attract the reader, whereas others only use smaller photos as they are not necessarily a tool to attract readers and are more a tool to understand the passage of text.

 

. very large and bold font for the headlining story.

. the title relates to something in the story such as the title shadowing lyrics to a song sung by the person pictured.

. small amount of text as the story itself is not there to draw the reader in and so does not need to be excessively long.

. the whole front cover is based on only one story and has no other information about the other stories on the paper.
