The Paradise Papers story coverage

Write up a description of the main differences between the two front pages from The Guardian and The Daily Mail, looking at both conventions and how the stories have been presented to the reader

As The Guardian is a broadsheet and The Daily Mail is a tabloid their cover is a lot different compared to each other as they are writing for a opposite audience. The first obvious thing about The Guardians cover is that they clearly show the Queens face taken from a note or a coin, but to highlight it even more they highlight it in yellow this as like a public shame as anyone walking past a shop will see the Queens face a read 'exploiting the poor', this will attract lots of readers. The Daily Mail take a different approach and make it seem like she didn't have a choice about it by using the word 'dragged', they also don't even add a picture of her instead they add a picture on the side of the well-known actor Millie Bobby Brown who plays Eleven from the popular series Stranger Things. Another clear way each newspaper attends to their readers is the language they use, The Guardian uses longer words and has a bigger vocabulary as their audience is going to be more educated compared to the readers of the Daily Mail.

 Write a paragraph outlining why you think the Guardian created a series of news articles looking at the same issue and how that may reflect the newspapers political ideology and news values.

The Guardian made a series of newspaper articles about the offshore accounts, all of the front covers which all involve the colour yellow, they do this to shame all the celebrities that had an offshore account by having them on the front cover so everyone can see them,

Look at the Mirror. The Daily Telegraph, Daily Express and the Independent online newspaper and consider what you learn about these two publications from their versions of the story and the front page conventions

Look at the online versions of these stories via Mail Online and The Guardian website. Compare and contrast their coverage. Use the sites to find out as much as you can about the story, so you fully understand it. What other media elements do the two websites provide readers (e.g.: audio or video clips, hyperlinks to other sites or connected stories).

Look at social media sites and explain how you think they encourage readers to interact with the story.
