The Paradise Papers story coverage
On Monday 6th November, the main headlines covered leaved documents revealing the financial details of the super rich. It outlined how many were allowed to keep money outside of the UK in order to avoid paying tax.
Both papers have presented the same story with completely different perspectives... this is due to their own different individual ideologies. For example, 'The Daily Mail' uses a particular choice of language in the headline such as 'dragged' which has negative connotations in order to portray the Queen as the victim in the situation. In comparison, The Guardian uses contrasting negative language to present the Queen such as 'exploiting' and 'controversial' which makes her appear like the perpetrator in this article. This is due to the fact that the Guardian is a left wing broadsheet newspaper which means they are critical of the Queen, unlike the views of the Daily Mail.
The Guardian focuses on the same issues that other news articles may cover due to the fact they want to express their different news values and political ideology's. For example, The Guardians political allegiance is left leaning with a leadership largely split between labour and lib deb voters...this means that they may promote different views in their writing in comparison to other papers such as the Daily Mail who's political stance is Right leaning with traditionally conservative values. The Guardian spent a number of days publishing a series of articles focusing on the 'paradise papers' story... the colour yellow linked all of these papers together.
