The different newspaper has different manifestos, some focuses on disseminating the political news along with the analysis, while some remained focused over the economic, social or global news. This trend continues to date, with some exception in the varieties of the newspapers. Today, the newspapers have introduced magazines also which specifically cover the topics of economy, fashion designing and about the social and educational problems ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"K5sQ5Ci3","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Donohew)","plainCitation":"(Donohew)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":283,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/s8f0QVnP/items/XB4M8UIT"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/s8f0QVnP/items/XB4M8UIT"],"itemData":{"id":283,"type":"article-journal","title":"Newswriting styles: What arouses the reader?","container-title":"Newspaper Research Journal","page":"3–6","volume":"3","issue":"2","source":"Google Scholar","title-short":"Newswriting styles","author":[{"family":"Donohew","given":"Lewis"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["1982"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Donohew). Despite such progress in the print and electronic media, there exist billions of readers throughout the world which till today read the newspaper to get themselves informed about the latest happenings around them.
The newspaper publishing style throughout the world has remained almost similar. The newspaper of every language has employed similar news writing styles. They include some main headlines about the latest happenings, some secondary headlines about the developments and some other headlines that are important for the reader. The next pages or the inner pages contain the remaining news details about the main headlines ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"Qn6zukT1","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Peng et al.)","plainCitation":"(Peng et al.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":285,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/s8f0QVnP/items/PSCT9ZV7"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/s8f0QVnP/items/PSCT9ZV7"],"itemData":{"id":285,"type":"article-journal","title":"Trends in online newspapers: A look at the US web","container-title":"Newspaper Research Journal","page":"52–63","volume":"20","issue":"2","source":"Google Scholar","title-short":"Trends in online newspapers","author":[{"family":"Peng","given":"Foo Yeuh"},{"family":"Tham","given":"Naphtali Irene"},{"family":"Xiaoming","given":"Hao"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["1999"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Peng et al.). In some parts of the inner pages, there are advertisements that are published for generating sizeable finances by the newspaper agencies. Since the newspaper style has experienced not many changes throughout the course of history, therefore this report will analyze these changing trends. In order to more precisely study the changing trends in the newspaper outlook, two newspapers will be analyzed. The New York Post Newspaper from the nineteenth century and the Los Angeles Time editions from the last year.
The New York Post Newspaper is one of the longest-running newspaper in the United States. It normally covers the stories of global politics, domestic politics, social and cultural issues, and foreign policy issues. It is among the widely read newspapers in New York. Up till now, its circulation has been limited to the New York, but the tabloid form it is being read throughout the length and breadth of the country. The founding father of the New York Post is Alexander Hamilton, this is also the reason why this newspaper is widely read. The Newspaper is also available at present in the form of e-newspaper that is accessible on the internet. The edition published on June 23rd, 1884 of the New York Post appears to follow a non- traditional approach. For example, in the middle of the news headlines, an ad has been placed. The advertisement is about an insurance company which is offering some financial coverage deals between 25$ to 100$. The company’s address has been mentioned also, which claims that we are accessible every time between the office hours. The newspaper cost mentioned over the masthead is ten cents and the length of the newspaper was nine pages. The New York post of that time served the entire area that was considered the territory of New York. The new stories mentioned over the front page is about the report release of a murder case, which is being considered different to the previous findings of the same report. It is different in a grammatical manner- if compared to the present day news stories published. One other aspect different in the newspaper is the consideration of domestic issues. The first page includes more than two stories about domestic issues.
The Los Angeles Times: The Los Angeles Times is the newspaper published from the Los Angeles. Mainly it publishes the news stories about domestic politics in the United States, about the political stories and covers international politics too. The newspaper is 3$ in price, and a normal edition of the Los Angeles times consist of 108 pages. There is an advertisement too in the newspaper. Since this newspaper is been published in a digitalized world, therefore it also offers internet access to the readers also. The internet access is also designed such as that it is in the access of the person who hardly knows about internet surfing. The newspaper published on March 30th this year is analyzed, as the web edition for more than a month is not accessible on the web. The major headline on that day newspaper is about the immigrants who are seeking asylum in the United States. The correspondent mentions that the authorities which overlook the immigration issues in the El Paso have maintained that they have run out of space for the immigrants. On the very first page of this edition, the editor has also placed some more news stories, one of which includes the news about the Brexit deal of the UK and the European Union. There is also an advertisement placed on the first page of this edition. The advertisement is about a Volkswagen bus. A male model can be seen standing next to Volkswagen. The English language used in Los Angeles this edition is quite understandable and easy to grab.
A comparative analysis of both these news stories suggests that in the previous centuries, as in the previous centuries the things were not that much globally connected, therefore the newspapers used to focus on the domestic issues. Also, there were not many issues that were known to the publishing agencies, otherwise they would have published so. A widely dispersed newsgathering team of today has changed to a considerable size the news dissemination style. It is also coupled with the growing number of web users.
