P3 - Newspaper Structure

Newspaper Structure

Colloquial:

Colloquial text is where the text is written in the dialect of who is speaking, for example, if someone in Scotland gave a description of how someone looked for a crime report, it could be written colloquially as to show exactly how they person described the criminal. Informal.

Expletive:

Can also be just inappropriate language such as swearing or sexual comments? Most papers censor the swearing, however papers like the guardian allow swearing when writing about the article.

1st Person Speak:

First Person speech can be used in things like interviews and some tabloid articles where a specific person is writing about an event. This is usually used in self Journalism and Columns. Guest Editors like comment pieces.

3rd Person Speak:

Third person speak is used when someone is describing what has happened, this covers the Why part of the Article. No internal opinions, other than those of people who are in the article/commenting.

Bias Due to Structure:

Different papers will show different parts of a story and will structure their articles based upon how they want to present the article. For example in the Guardian, during the London Riots, which were started by a black teenager that was killed by a police officer. On the other hand the Daily Mail would show how the riots are doing/what has happened during them and then state why?
