Mass Media Hands-on

After analysing the news on the royal wedding in Britain, we came to the conclusion that the american newspapers (Newsweek and NPR) have the news shown on the homepage. Both have a critical approach on this topic without giving it much importance, while the British BBC and The Times deal with this matter in a more serious way, giving much more details about the ceremony. With the exception of The Times, they don't focus much on relevant pictures although all of them are different and so are their captions. None of the four newspapers make use of direct speech and the stories have different lenghts and so are their beginnings. The facts reported on the homepages are not the same as they emphasize diffrerent aspects of the news.
