IntroductionIn this crime news analysis, I will focus on the right-wing tabloid newspaper “The Sun” and the left-wing newspaper “The Guardian”. I will analyze the article about the student riots in both newspapers and see if there are any similarities or differences in the way the event is presented. The incident occurred when a protest against rising tuition fees got out of control, during which some protesters used violent tactics to express their views. Quantitative and qualitative In a press article, the qualitative aspect generally concerns the images and the quantitative the quantity of text used. Quantitative data is generally considered more favorable and is common in major newspapers like 'The Guardian', while tabloids such as 'The Sun' tend to use more qualitative data (Ericson et al, 1991). Tabloids generally target the working class who are stereotyped as being the least educated, so the use of lots of images makes it almost equivalent to a children's storybook, while 'The Guardian' is more text-heavy and addresses the middle class and therefore provokes more debate. (Schlesinger et al, 1991). “The Sun” uses 3 pages, 8 images and uses approximately 20% text. Whereas “The Guardian” uses 5 pages, 3 images and around 65% text. The journalist tends to be specific about what he believes makes an article appealing to his readers. News Value Many crime events occur every day, but only a few are selected because they are deemed newsworthy. Chibnall (1977) states that a story is considered newsworthy if it is dramatized, immediate and involves structured access. “The Sun” could be argued to use all of these elements, for example by overemphasizing the violence that occurred and labeling it as such (Hayward, 2006). In this case, if the label is accepted, there could be more protests and riots because individuals might believe that this is the quickest way to get the message across. A UKUncuts activist also claimed in “The Guardian” that “higher profile campaigns could be carried out”. expected'.ConclusionOverall, it is clear that there is a contrast between the two newspapers. It could be argued that newspaper production aims primarily to meet readers' expectations. For example, "The Sun" readers expect to read a dramatic story, so editors select specific words and images, while "The Guardian" readers may prefer more of an intellectual debate ( Schlesinger et al, 2010). They both tell the same story but in different ways, so it's up to the reader to decide which one they believe or prefer..
