Firstly the news page makes the more contreversial topics eye catching by making the articles bigger and making the title of the article quite baiting by saying something and you want to know what happened. Also the more contreversial topics have pictures. Some pictures are quite recognisable to being attached to controversial topics for example a pivture of Donald Trump would pull people in because we never know what hes going to do next.
Also the news page is appealing to everyone because they are quite independent so they show both sides of the argument so everyone can read it without getting mad at the opinion because both sides are supported. For example it could say something bad about a politician saying he lied or something but then also say he raised money for a school. Also there usually alot of celebs on the front page so people who are fans of the celebs will get pulled into the paper

ReplyDeleteYou have not worked from the Observer home page (given on the post, with the blue and pink on it) and I think that you perhaps did not really understand that you needed to analyse actual examples from the online extract given. For instance, can you pick out examples of hyperbolic, emotive or sympathetic language? Use of metaphor? Concerns with gender politics or social diversity? How is photography used? Are there always images of people for the human interest appeal?
