Mx Thursday March 26, 2009 pg.13 / http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/
In terms of content it can be said that in the press article taken from the mx the purpose the headline “irate staff kidnap boss” is to be strong rightforward and draw in the readers right away.
Because the article lacks of an image to support the content they try to create a catchy phrase as a title to grab as much attention as possible. Something similar happens on the web where on the australianews site the headline appears as “Angry workers takes boss hostage” however it seems more sutile. At this point I think its important to e taken into consideration the type of newspaper and website that are been compare as it may influence the way the reader perceives the new.
The mx may be focus on a more casual audience while the Australians news a more informative one and therefore may have a more serious and formal style to express things down.
From the point of view of design the printed article has a more strict and limited “template”. The space is limited and therefore the content has to be consistent and full of information. On the other side the web the article shows a short article of the new as well as the option of reading the whole article or even to related articles, with the aim of following the new more in depth.
The article found on the web uses images to back up and complement the article while in the newspaper didn’t have any. One feature that is really good on the web is the possibility of changing the text by increasing or decreasing the size according to the reader’s need. On the other side newspapers use a small font size. 8pts to be able to optimize space as it is limited.
Meanwhile the web has unlimited space for information and therefore its style allows it to be more descriptive medium. This more detailed approach works online because the content is searchable and you can sort and present it in personalized views for each user. This shows the web as a more interactive medium.
It can be said that newspaper and web even if they have to different concepts of showing its content they complement each other; when you read an article on the newspaper you might find a good consistent narrative, and if you are interested in the article a good option is going on internet to find more about it.
