News Diary

E-Media - This week i looked at the huffington postwhich is very different to traditional news websites as it is run by the public and can post their own stories online. The website looks very different to commercial news websites however the stories were hard news stories which are serious.

Print - The national newspaper that I looked at this week was The Sun, The sun is the UK's biggest commercial news paper and has certain conventions such as a big front page story and the traditional red masthead to indicate it is an tabloid. The news story in the Sun was of hard news with a soft and humours outlook to the situation.

The local newspaper which I looked at was the Ealing gazette. The Ealing gazette has a less professional look to it, however the news stories within the Ealing gazette is full of hard and important news with very serious news stories.

Broadcast - On TV, this week I viewed CNN news for the first time. What i had realised immediately was that although CNN is full of hard news, as they are a commercially independent news institution. They are very biased in the way they report news as they are a right-wing institution.
