Why I prefer quality newspapers

This is a little essay about the topic: Why I prefer quality newspapers:

In the press there are two types of newspapers: The quality newspapers and the popular newspapers. Both types have their own characteristics. But why read some people popular and other quality newspapers? Here is my point of view, why I read preferably quality newspapers.

Firstly I think the information content is higher than in a popular newspaper. If you want the most informations then is the quality newspaper the first choice.
In contrast have popular newspapers indeed big pictures, but inform you limited.

Secondly in my opinion are articles in quality newspapers better investigated than in popular newspapers. Unfortunately I must do this experience and read and hear a lot of garbage from a big popular newspaper in germany.

Also is the image of the popular newspaper not the best. The reason are pretty girls with naked breasts. It is not serious to read a combination of porno mag and newspaper.

In conclusion I must say, that I never subscribe to a popular newspaper!

When I use a and when an before a word?

Yes, it is a simple grammar rule, but if you speak and write english only at school, you forget it so fast. I speak from the indefinite article 'a' and 'an'.

Normally stands for a :) Word the indefinite article 'a'. But if the word begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u), then you use 'an'.

Example:

• a car
• a boy
• a girl

• an apple
• an idiot
• an egg

Ok thats clear, but no grammar without an exception. Important is the pronunciation too! For example:

• a unit (Speaking as a 'j' -> a)
  
• an uncle (Speaking as a 'a' -> an)
• a human
• an hour
  

In Principle easy, but there are so many words where I not sure, because of the pronunciation. I think the best way to learn this grammar rule is to read a lot of english texts an write from time to time here in this blog :)

Popluar Newspapers / Tabloids

After my Post about Quality Newspapers, here my new post over Popular Newspapers. This type of newspaper is also called Tabloid.

Tabloids are known for their celebrity news and pictures. Sometimes their called „gutter“ press. Popular Newspapers profit from the stars and the stars profit often from the popular newspapers. Nobody can live without the other.

But there are a lot of more differences between quality and popular newspapers. A first look on a tabloid shows, that the headlines on the cover are very big and sensational. These attention-grabbing headlines often using puns or containing alliteration. With the headline tabloids bond their readers and are so a big and important part.

Furthermore is the content and layout is different. A popular newspaper use a subjective language and try so to catch the reader with his emotions. The texts are short and have less informations than quality newspapers.

Tabloids are for example:

• The Sun
• The Daily Mirror
• The Daily Mail
• The Daily Express
• News of the world

In Germany we have also tabloids. The most famous tabloid is the "Bild Zeitung". Here the website: www.bild.de
