Introduction to Newspapers

 1) What type of news can you typically find in a tabloid newspaper?

Softer news, gossip, show bizz. More entertainment rather then information.

2) What type of news can you typically find in a broadsheet newspaper?

Hard news. Politics. International. Culture. Sport. All for information purposes- less for entertainment.

3) If someone is left-wing, which political party are they likely to support? Which newspaper would they be likely to read?

Labour. Daily mirror.

4) If someone is right-wing, which political party are they likely to support? Which newspaper would they be likely to read?

Conservatives. The Times.

5) Why has there been a decline in newspaper sales in the last 20 years?

Because television has started to appear in 1950's which led to people watching the news on their TV , rather then reading on the newspaper.


6) Why is a free press important in a democracy like the UK?

Free press implies that journalists (those that write for newspapers) and newspaper editors can edit content free of intervention from Government influence. So they have freedom to publicise their opinions on the newspapers.
