The New York Times:
The New York Times is a famous, world-wide newspaper that gives information on everyday activity to the public. The Times is a prestige newspaper in the sense of their vocabulary, editorials, and class of viewers. The class of people who read the Times are white-collar mostly, and appeal to them rather then middle or lower classes.
The article on Sean Bell is the New York Times is one in which the Times discussed in a political way dealing with the case of Bloomberg and how the city reacted. It gave details and evidence on the case that provided many points of interest to the political class. The New York Times is a very liberal paper that connected with the Sean Bell article on different levels compared to the New York Post and The Guardian. It is a newspaper that is different from all others and connects with upper class range.
1) The audience for the New York Times is upper-middle, white collar class. It’s for an elite class of people because it has a political and analytical kind of process to it. “Under Mayor Bloomberg, there is a much better tone in the city with regard to police- community relation, and race relations in general. But when it comes to the police department and improved tone won’t count for much if policies and procedures aren’t changed to prevent cops from blowing away innocent individuals with impunity.” This is an example how the New York Times is on Bloomberg’s side and gives a political view of the accident.
2) The “villains” in the story are the police men who fired 50 shots at the car. Villains could appear in a natural event because the natural cause of disaster going on could be considered the villain.
3) The heroes are Sean Bell’s fiancé, Nicole Paultre, and his two friends Joseph Guzman, and Trent Benefield. Paultre has to become strong and deal with the fact Sean died on their wedding day. Guzman and Benefield were both injured in the accident and have to suffer the fact of their good friend not making it out alive. They are all good people who now have to live with pain and horrible memories.
4) The main difference of the New York Times is the way they describe the incidents in proper, correct form. This means that they do not lie or misinform any information, and they support different view of interest. The moments described differently are the views of the mayor, the people of the city, Rev. Al Sharpton, and where the police stand in perspective.
Yes, the causes and effects are described differently from the New York Times to The Guardian because they appeal to different crowds and have different points of view.
The Guardian:
The Guardian is a newspaper that deals with news coverage on an international basis. Its an unlimited paper mainly in U.K., but can be read all over. The Guardian is a paper that compels to the middle class and discusses different points of view. It gives details from a political sense, like the Times, but isn’t as liberal. The article on Sean Bell in The Guardian was an extreme sense of policy when they went against the police and sided with the mayor. They were disgusted with the way the police men acted and supported Mayor Bloomberg’s points of view. The Guardian had few articles on Sean Bell, but in all of them they supported the same points of view.
1) The Guardian seems to appeal a middle-upper, middle-lower class of audience. “The officers shots struck the men’s car 21 times. They also hit nearby homes and shattered windows at a train station, though no residents were injured.” This quote appeared many times throughout the articles, showing The Guardian respected the people in the community and didn’t just care about political views.
2) The “villains” in the story are as the New York Times, the police men. Only difference in The Guardian is the immense sense of anger against the police. They were so against the way they acted and sided with the mayor’s points of view against them.
3) The hero’s are the same as the New York Times, (Paultre, Guzman, and Benefield), but The Guardian also make Bloomberg seem heroic. This is because of the strong sense of policy and outrage against the policemen. They were completely out of line and according angered many.
4) The Guardian’s main different is that they show more sensitivity to the families and side with the mayor against the police in almost every article. They also show many examples of different articles explaining racism with white cops and black victims. These are some facts that are described differently. The Guardian has racist causes and effects on the articles and shows examples of hate and sorrows in their articles.
