Analysis of newspapers

Financial Times 
- pictures to engage the reader - significant people on the front cover to illustrate what/who the stories are based on - does not feature the remembrance poppy

The Guardian

- the content is formal and shows the proper news - the positive and negative stories going on in the world.  - displayed in neat columns with a myriad of text - less colour than the tabloids, text and titles are in black and white

Daily Mail 
- Less text, therefore a large title covering over half of the front cover. - More colour - Inclusive - the poppy - symbolic - Spice Girls, a well known pop group that is likely to engage fans and those interested in celebrity gossip.

The Daily Telegraph
- Contrasts from the Daily Mail because it focuses on higher social classes as opposed to lower ones; such as The Sun where it discusses celebrity stories and drama, based on false news. - Politics - upper classes - intellectual readers - Small text, to fit more stories/more content 

Daily Mirror
- big story of a hate crime - celebrity drama of Ant and court - large title - advertising of a tv programme 

Daily Star 
- offers and compares itself to The Sun on the front cover - '10p cheaper than The Sun' - celebrity stories - informal language - pun/word play - entertaining factors to engage the audience - bold/capital letters 

Daily Express
- large titles covering the front cover - presented as a lower social group newspaper - deals included - suggests the lower social classes also, so they can afford - not as educated to understand complex vocabulary
The Independent 
- politics and talks of the environment and parliament - less colour - only in image of Donald Trump - Donald Trump symbolises politics and connects countries because he is the president of America 
The Times 
- significant logo between the title symbolises politics and old history - little chnages have been made - shows target audience can be for the older generation and those interested in Brexit and other polititions. - statistics and figures - controversial topics such as cancer, Donald Trump
Metro 
- Newspapers such as the Daily Mail and Metro include something 'free' in order to make it more appealing to customers, so they want to purchase or read the article. - offers at the bottom of the page to show its unformal - it promotes deals and discounts. - minimal text 
The Sun 
- larger images than newspapers such as The Guardian and The Independent - uses less factual text - main focus on celebrities lives as opposed to the day to day people
