“If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed.

If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.”

― Mark Twain


A newspaper is a publication that is issued daily or weekly

Today we have a large number of different types of newspapers.

For comparison, I have selected the following two: Daily Times and Financial Times.


Local English Pakistani newspaperSimultaneously published from Lahore,

Islamabad and Karachi


British-English paper published in London.It has a special emphasis on business and

economic newsAlso published in ChineseIts distinctive feature is its pink colored page “All times are London time.”


Contents of both newspapersMost of the news stories are in inverted pyramid style in FTFT always starts with a short paragraph that gives a brief

account of what the entire news story will comprise of. For example,


News stories in Daily Times are also in inverted pyramid style


FT has a slant towards London as seen in its slogan as well.

DT paints a better picture of Pakistan especially Sindh and Punjab.

FT is molding a very bad name for Pakistan


FT is anti-Islam



FT uses flowery language while DT uses clear and straight forward writing style.

The use of words is very simple for the lay man to understand in DT and vice versa

Both have around 6 to 7 columns in total in one page


The length of articles is almost the same in both

There is clarity and to the point information in Daily Times unlike FT

The headings of FT are very dynamic and catchy


Use of censored language and visuals


PICTORIAL DISPLAYPictorial display is very dramatic and colorful

in FTMost pictures are in actionThe expressions of the people tell half the

story
