Newspapers

Newspaper Analysis
Below is the news paper front cover and my annotations, labeling common features on a front cover of a news paper in general.

There are a number of different formats and types of newspapers, for example:

Regional (Shropshire Star)

• Regional (Shropshire Star)
• Local (Market Drayton Advertiser, North Shropshire Chronicle, Herald)
• Tabloid (The Sun, The Mail, Daily Star)
• Broadsheet (Old Telegraph)
• Berliner (Guardian)
• Compact (The I)

Newspapers often come in other formats, for example in digital forms such as apps and online version, which are usually in a PDF format which can be viewed inside an internet browser. Newspapers generally have websites and publish a number of articles, and sometimes summary articles.

Legal & Ethical

Unlike broadcast news, which has to be balanced, print press may be bias - although it is bias, it has to be accurate. Print press is regulated by the PCC (Press Complaints Committee) but does not have as strict guidelines as broadcasting due to the fact live broadcasts are a more trusted medium due to the fact it has motion picture. Other than the PCC, newspapers are otherwise self regulated.

Newspapers are forbidden to conduct contempt of court, to go against the official secrets act and conduct defamation (damaging someone's character), although there is often loopholes for press to hint at something they're not allowed to say, for example, when a celebrity or someone well known takes out a super injunction, as seen recently, they will report on the person who's taken out the injunction.
