Daily Mirror - exciting and interesting event
Horrific event - anchorage of images - makes you realise that this is the child that has died. Makes you identify with the child.
Story was on page 2 or 3, full page.

Not much of a story going on.

The Times- is a broadsheet, formal mode of address for it's middle class target audience, less pictures.
As well as this the times reported on the suspect's ethnicity, whereas the Daily mirror did not. This presents a right wing ideology, makes us believe that this is an important fact to mention. This paper presents us with the belief that this man is guilty, but he has not been trailed yet, therefore this is false. "Innocent until proven guilty". Words such as "suspect" convey this idea.

Page 7, so it is less news worthy. A lot less significance is given to this story.Biassed against this man from the beginning.

The Today Show, Radio 4

What headlines and news  in brief reports come before and after the story?
Before- Trump and Russians (International), farmlands, and South Africa.
After- Theresa May travelling
What does this tell us about the significance given to the story?
Target audience? - Middle Class. The focus on political stories emphasises this, and they are far more detailed. A lot of assumed knowledge within the talk. Vocabulary/ Lexis
