This article written by the Guardian is quite formal due to it
being aimed at an ABC1 audience. This means that this article is written with
high vocabulary. The purpose of this article is to inform people on the
disaster that had occurred. The tone this was written in a formal tone just
like every other Guardian News article. Again this is because of the ABC1 audience
The Guardian's articles are written for.
This headline catches the audience through using leaving the
reader/ audience to want to know what has happened next. This is through not
informing if the skiers to the audience whether if they are safe, alive or
rescued. This leaves the reader wondering and to carry on reading the article
in order to find out more information from the dilemma. Also, this
article uses many different sentence structures such as simple, compound
and complex an example of a compound sentence used in this article is 'Skiers on a “family slope” in the popular French
Alpine resort of Tignes that was hit by an avalanche on Tuesday morning have
all been found safe and well, French officials have said. ‘This is an example
of a compound sentence used in this article written by the Guardian. Another
sentence structure used is Compound sentence 'Two hours after the avalanche,
local gendarmes who feared a large number of skiers were under the snow, said
they had examined every metre of the piste and found no victims'. This article
has also featured compound sentence. As well as compound and complex The Guardian
article has also included a variety of different simple sentences an example of
this is ‘The ski resort was closed to the public'
The word 'difficult' is repeated in this
article. This is in order for the reader to understand the situation that has
occurred and how hard it was. BBC news, Channel 5 and The Guardian are many
television and newspaper companies that have covered this unfortunate accident.
This formal article written by the Guardian has also featured words such as ‘impossible’ and
‘difficult’. I believe this is intended to present the hard struggle this
dilemma was to successfully solve.

This is an informal
written article aimed to be targeted at a C2DE group from ages between 16-25.
This article is also targeted at a female audience. The purpose of this article
is to inform the females in the c2de group what. This article is written
in an informal tone due to it being targeted at young age group and a c3de
group. The headline includes who this articles is based on in order to for
readers to want to have more information about the situation. Especially, due
to the article being based on Reality T.V stars. This headline is informal
using lower vocabulary. This article uses a variety of many different complex
sentence in this article written by Heat World. For example, ‘While Holly
picked a thoughtful design for Kylie, he decided to go with a huge black and
white image of his own face obtained by The Sun Online.’
‘This has, understandably, caused a massive argument between
the pair, as Holly thought he was going to pick something that, y'know, wasn't
his own head’. Also, they have used the word ‘Y’know’. This clearly show how
informally written this article is. For example, The Independent would not use
words such as ‘y’know’ due to it being very informal and not suited for their audience.
Using this word also gives a friendly feel toward the reader.

Donald Trump campaign aides repeatedly
spoke with Russian officials in run-up to election
The Independent
15/02/2017
Donald
Trump campaign aides repeatedly spoke with Russian officials in run-up to
election
Summarise the main points of the article.
• Who
- Trumps campaign team
• What
- Trumps team had been in contact before the election
• Where-
Washington DC – US capital
• When
– Run up to the U.S Presidential election
•
Why? - Possibly to sabotage Hillary
Clinton's candidacy through Russia posting fake news.
'Law
enforcement and intelligence agencies found that members of Donald Trump’s
campaign and other associates had repeated contact with Russian officials in
the run-up to the election.'
This
shows the purpose of the article is to inform the public on what is occurring.
Also this shows the purpose of the article is to report to us on what has
happened. Russians being in contact with the Donald Trump’s team before the
election was detailed in the article in order to report and the public on what
has happened.
'Intelligence
agencies were also concerned by Mr Trump's remarks last summer'
This
clearly shows how the article is also a report. The Independent has provided
information on the problem. The tone uses
In my opinion I believe this issue to be a very major issue
because of the effects it may have had on Donald Trump’s campaign. Although,
Donald Trump was elected president of the United States many people were not
happy with him being elected. For Donald Trump’s team being in contact with the
Russians before his campaign could give Hilary or non-Donald Trump voters a
reason for him being elected. However, USA have denied this to be true. Donald
Trump’s team being in contact with the Russians was said to have something to
do with 'sabotaging' Hilary Clinton's campaign. I do not understand why this
information is not effecting Donald Trump as he is now the President of the
United States. Was there not enough proof or evidence for this to be true? And
if this was to be true can this effect Donald Trump as president and give
justice to Hilary.
'Four current and former
US officials told the New York Times'
This conveys how this information is probably
true due to coming from a quite high and reliable sources. In my opinion this
should be enough evidence to investigate if the campaign between Donald Trump
and Hilary Clinton was fair. What I found interesting was they have more
than enough evidence such as 'they had intercepted phone records and phone calls and had found evidence of the repeated communications
last year'. I did not understand why this information was not told earlier but
after Donald Trump was elected.
'They discovered that Russia had carried out
a "campaign of influence" upon the election, posting fake news to
sabotage Hillary Clinton's candidacy.'
This clearly shows this was in order for
Donald Trump to be elected president and ruin Hilary's Campaign.
'US intelligence officials also did not say
how much of the communication with Russia was related to business.'

This is another article targeted at a female C2DE category due to it being an
article based on celebrity. Also, aimed at a female audience. This female
audience would have interest in makeup, clothes etc. This article is informally
written in order to suit the target audience. This means the use of low vocab
such as words like ‘good’ an ‘smaller’
to describe things. The headline gave quite a lot of information on what the
target audience would like to hear such as expensive brands e.g. Gucci and
major prices. The article was filled with mostly simple sentence. Probably due
to the C2DE category this article was aimed at using simple sentence.
'Such as Even at five years old Beyonce's daughter is learning first-hand the
price of being a diva’. The headline is quite long which is common when it
comes to
Adele Spoke About Falling

Buzz feed generally creates articles aimed at
young adults and teens in the c2de category. Although, Buzz feed is targeted at
both genders. This article was specifically targeted at a female audience. Buzz
feed being aimed at a young audience in a low NRS category this is the reason
for they use of low vocabulary. Also, the article is based on a celebrity. This
is another example of its targeted audience being a 16- 25 female age range.
The headline features an A-list very well-known celebrity. This is because
featuring a person everyone knows will encourage people to be more likely to
read the magazine. For example, featuring an article on a not very well known
person would make the article not as successful as an article featuring Adele.
As you can see the article is not just informally written it doesn’t include
much information. But what it does include quite a lot is images. I believe
this is because of the target audience this article is written for and how
images will immediately attract the audience. This article features word
choices such as ‘brb’ in their article. This clearly portrays the age this
article is targeted at. Simple sentence structures are used throughout this
article. Again this is due to the teenage target audience. For example, ‘Brb, sobbing forever.’ Is a short sentence used, which features
teenager’s slang. This short sentence also is a
way of the writer connecting with the reader by writing the article in a
friendly way as if the reader and he writer are friends.
