Newspaper Article Homework

Language- the average words in each sentence is around 20-30. In this article there are a lot of quotes used that try and back up what the journalist is trying to point to in the article. For example, 'I am not saying buy 10 players, I'd love to see two or three — and not players you have to Google and say, 'Who's that?' I mean well-known players. 

Content- At the start of the article, it is basically a background and vague information of what the article will be about, with information about the football player involved and personal information about him. This is done so the reader understands what the article will be about and so they have some background information. It then goes on to quotes that he has said in the past that link to what the article is about so there's evidence to what the journalist is trying to say. There are then pictures and more quotes from people related to the story about the transfer of this player and how they feel about it.

Style- Although it is a serious article, it is only rumours so its not as serious as it would be if the football transfer was a done deal. A lot of the article is quotes so this gives it more of a formal tone rather than a chatty tone.

Values and Attitudes- I wouldn't say there is any bias in this article as we do not know what football team this journalist supports. Also the article is just information and quotes from a various range of people so we can't really use this as bias. The journalist who wrote this article doesn't give his own opinion on the story so its not bias at all.

Photographs- There are 4 photographs used in this article (3 of the footballer involved Danny Rose and 1 of Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho). They used the pictures of Danny Rose to show who the person is but also some show him with a smile on his face which could contradict what the article is about. This could suggest that this story is only a rumour and he is actually happy at the football club he is at at the moment. 

Headlines- "Manchester United 'to step up pursuit' of Tottenham star Danny Rose as Jose Mourinho seeks January deal." There are also 3 little headlines under the main one to show what the article is going to be all about and reasons that back up what the article is trying to state.
