A big difference we found out between the online newspaper and the hard copy is that social media and has a huge influence on the online copy and the fact that every article has a link to social media and the fact that it is participatory media which can create a lot of readers to transfer form the hard copy newspaper to the online version.
As well as this, the online version of the newspaper has unlimited space so they can write the article in much more detail compared to a hard copy where the space is limited so they can not go into as much detail compared to the online copy.

Different pespectives of newspapers

In The Times newspaper the seemed to lack the more in detail information as shown when it did not say 'How did it happen?' and 'Why did it happen?'. I think this may of happened due to the paper being targeted at A, B and C1 target audience and they do not like the gossip like the Daily Mirror's target audience of C2, D and E who are more interested in the gossip side of the story

Bias in newspapers
1. Bias through pictures/ graphics- camera angles/ captions.
2. Word choice and tone in the body of the text.
3. Choice of journalist and sources- Who is writing, what is their beliefs, and who have they got their information from?
4. Where is the article placed in the paper? Is it prominent or hidden? Is it front page or far back?
5. Bias through omission or selection- whether an article is even published or not.
6. Bias headlines.
7. Bias by use of names and tittles.
8. Bias through stats and crowd counts.
