online differences between the guardian and the mail online

Cards (7)

  • comparing both of the websites for each paper, the mail online focuses heavily on negative news (galtung + Ruge), celebrity gossip, has a sidebar of shame when the guardian focuses on a more balanced, more centred but left-leaning portrayal of different events/topics etc
  • Example of celebrity gossip for the mail online- Rihanna and Asap Rocky romance, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck 'divorce pain',
  • The mail online has pop ups, images and gossip
  • the guardian allow for comments, allows for debates
  • the daily mail twitter feed- still same amount of gossip
  • the daily mail twitter- news about people in England- proximity news value,
  • negative news on The Daily Mail's twitter account- news value
