Inside the tabloid: reading an article

The headline is huge and it is

expressed in a dramatic way, so

it catches the readers attention

straight away. This version of the story is

less formal:

- It’s written in a coloquial way.

- It has no specific information

nor opinons from experts.

-It shows some bias “Stunned

nursery nurse rescued tot”

The way the story is tackled is

aimed to people that just want

a brief explanantion of what

happened

Main features

-It is the lead story

-It has about 350 words.

- It shows three pictures.

- The pictures occupy the

20% of the page.

- The new occupies the 50% of

the page
