2. The genre for The Sun is easily
entertainment with their ‘punny’ titles and
story choices, keeping their audience
entertained with often amusing news about
celebrities, showbiz, lifestyle, politics and
business, although they are not famous for
their more ‘serious’ articles unlike The
Telegraph and the BBC. This might be
because their audience (target and actual
audience) isn’t really interested in those
types of stories, so The Sun journalists
probably focus on the stories that do get
read the most, which are the celebrity and
gossip articles, thus becomes known for their
entertainment stories instead of politic and
business like BBC and The Guardian.
The
Content

3. Type of Content
The Suns articles tend to mainly consist of images
with only one or two short sentences per paragraph
making really short stories, but the ‘paragraphs’
usually only comment on the pictures or consist of
comments made about the person which the article is
about which is shown a lot in the ‘Bum Note’ article.
This again makes it an entertainment news company,
as the articles aren’t really factual, educational or
informative unlike other companies like the BBC,
instead The Sun focuses on the visual and more
visually pleasing aspect rather than informing and
educating the readers with more necessary news.
Articles consisting of more images rather than text
makes it a much quicker and easier read compared to
lengthier articles, which again makes it a more
entertaining article and news company.

4. Biased Opinions
There aren’t really any biased opinions from The
Sun’s journalist, as The Sun mainly shared what
Chloe Ferry’s fans think of her and ‘accuse her of’
but The Suns comments within the article are not
really commenting on the story itself, but rather
making crude and humorous jokes about the
situation, such as “Chloe’s backside clearly stole
the show” and adding some ‘facts’ that have no
found sources, such as “Telling the Sun it makes
her happy, Chloe said she wanted surgery before
going on MTV series Geordie Shore but could never
afford it” and “Chloe has admitted she changed
herself to help deal with her insecurities” but like I
previously mentioned, there is no proof or evidence
to such statements.

5. The
Audience
The audience is probably
people who watch the show
she was featured on,
interested in gossip or who is
probably just amused by the
title and story like me, but The
Suns audience has a
reputation for being lower or
middle class citizens or
younger audiences as The Sun
has got a younger target
audience, as the language
used is suitable for a younger
audience including children as
it is rather basic and there isn’t
much text included in the
article compared to a BBC
article, even though the BBC is
also suitable and read by a
younger audience including
children.

6. *Screenshots from the article*
Informal and amusing headline compared to more formal and
straightforward headlines produced by other news companies, thus
making it a entertainment news company than a educational and
informative one.

7. *Screenshots from the article*
The Sun shares amusing comments which are all informal and un-
biased, but one could argue that The Sun is biased as the remarks
included (provided above) give off a negative impression as they
seem to be mocking or making fun of Chloe Ferry.

8. *Screenshots from the article*
There were no references or links to external pages/websites which could provide
evidence to such statements, and The Sun claims that she told them, but there was
no reference to any interviews or communication between the two. This makes The
Sun seem unreliable as there is no evidence unlike other companies like the BBC
where there is links/evidence to sources for information used. This gives off the
impression that The Sun is over-exaggerating or perhaps twisting information they
discovered, making it a more entertaining article than a informative one.

9. Screenshots of comments made by other people/the public within the
article, again without any source or reference so readers have no idea
who or where these comments came from. Although the comments are
seemingly amusing, the majority of the article consists of comments
made by anonymous people which again makes The Sun a entertainment
company rather than a formal and educational one

10. Conclusion
In conclusion, The Sun is a entertainment news company for a variety of
reasons:
• Language used -> Articles tend to consists of informal language and
include minimal amounts of text per article, and instead mainly consist of
images.
• Structure -> There is hardly any text within each article but have loads of
images, making it more visually entertaining and quicker to read, as a
longer article can get tedious to read and bore the reader even if the story
is entertaining.
• Audience -> The audience for The Sun is rather low, meaning there are a
lot of children reading articles produced, and the target audience is
probably people who want to keep up to date with celebrity gossip and
have a more light-hearted and easier read than a longer more
sophisticated article like ones produced by The Guardian or BBC.
