Comparison:
The Daily Mirror is a tabloid. This means that its main aim is to provide soft news. For example gossip and popular stories which their readers (C2DE) like to read. It shows re popular press, aimed at lower social groupings. The use of a bold layout and shorter articles makes it easier and quicker to reader, therefore making it more accessible. Whereas The Daily Telegraph is a broadsheet which means that is for hard news, such as stories about tax, education or politics. They show things such as quality or serious press, which their audience ABC1 like to read, as it is aimed at higher demographic groups, unlike tabloid papers. Broadsheets use of a plainer layout, subtle titles and longer, more serious articles.
In these front pages, the Daily Mirror shows a large section on the 'queens £10m tax haven scandal' and this is because the Mirror is a left wing, labour supporting paper. However, the Daily Mail is a conservative paper, meaning their right wing support means they do not want to create a huge story on the Royal Family publicly going against them, which is why you can see the small article to the right of the front page, as they have to show the story to an extent as it is popular press, and what the readers want to see. This is because it covers; unexpectedness, Negativity, Elite persons, Personalisation and Proximity. Therefore meaning that both types of papers will want to report on this to gain high levels of readership as it what the public want to read about.
