- Consider why people return to the same newspaper title repeatedly and feel that it represents their own views that they can identify with. How is this particularly obvious with the comment page.
People return to the same Newspaper because they like to feel like their ideas are right, so if a newspaper is saying the same sort of things that you believe in then they will keep buying that newspaper as it gives them a sense of accomplishment. This is obvious from the moment page as they are very one sided depending on the side of the political line they are on, as in are hey left or right wing.
- Which paper might satisfy the audience's need for entertainment the most? What kind of escapism does it offer readers and which articles provide the most entertainment.
Out of these two newspapers the one that would be read more by people who want to be more entertained than informed about the issues would be the daily mail. This is due to the fact that the guardian is much harder to read and understand because of the language used in it.
- Reading newspapers is informative because it explores current affairs and culture, but which paper is best for providing this level of education?
In my opinion the better one for educational purposes at tis level would be the daily mail as it is far easier to understand and get the idea of the story. Although you miss out on some details and statistics of the part of current news it is easier to understand what is going on.
- How might news and feature articles along with comment pieces spark social interactions for people?
