Modern and Legal weren't on the same day. It was modern and science and there wouldn't have been anything to talk about for science except a couple of words...'ridiculously easy!'

ok sorry wrong thing then.... but i just know they did it for a few subjects and its just weird cause its like what is one subject more important than the other... you know what i mean... but im overit... its just when i was curious about some of my subjects and they didnt speak about them i was like ohh ok thanks for that

Yeah I can understand that, but I spose like some people of said, its not of enough general interest so they don't want to take up too much room with it. Maybe they just publish the one with the bigger candidature?

While newspapers can't be entirely trusted, the Telegraph does seem to be one of the worst, something that has only been heightened through 'Telling The Truth'. The sensationalism and distortion of truth has been very rife throughout it's pages.. Anyone remember such exploitative headlines as A Traitor's Innocent Son Asks; Will Daddy Blow Up Australia?.

Yet it remains a more popular paper. (Not only statistically, but from personal experience. I purchase the Herald each Saturday, and at the local newsagent, almost every copy of the Telegraph is sold..).

Incidentally, their music reportage (The Telegraph) is quite bad as well.. The music editor seems to have some bias against Radiohead.. Like when there was the 'controversy' over the unreleased 'Motion Picture Soundtrack' videoclip, the comment in the Telegraph literally was In a move that could alienate up to half their fanbase...

yeah the herald is the worset of the lot... its sorta popular..cuz its easi to read.... and has more tirivial articles i think... whereas the msh's audience is slightly more sophsticated... this is how i feel aniwyz.. there are a lot of domestic artilcles in the hearld..abut car crahses, dads and mums famili stuff... whereas i find with smh its more international and polticalli based... same goes for the sunday telegraph

the autralian is also a good one i think..

It's the difference between 'Tabloid' and 'Broadsheet' papers, even within the same publishing companies. (It is truly scary how much of the media is owned by Murdoch.. In Adelaide, he actually has a newspaper monopoly!).

Something I've noticed in the Telegraph is how that almost inevitably, if an article is about a woman or women, the headline is in terms of the near-ubiqious 'Mum'. Nothing like gender-stereotyping..

v true gregor.... tell meeh more abt tabloid and broadsheet.... i dont think i know the concept..

Size of the paper. Broadsheet = folio size like the SMH. It's a total bitch to read though, near impossible on public transport and it WILL cover your entire desk
Tabloid is so much easier but sadly, it's usually full of trash.

The Sydney Morning Herald has a larger section and sometimes includes a sample question from the paper. As does the Illawarra Mercury. Their sections are alright, still they're published by the same company - Fairfax.

yeah, fairfax produces better quality, than daily telegraph- i mean its a tabloid after all.

the telegraph tends to have a wide reading audience, simply because it is 'easy to read', you dont need a masters degree in english to understand it..
whereas SMH tends to be a bit more sophisticated, the 'uneducated' among the country may find it difficult to understand or whatever..

but, yeah, SMH all the way!!!

 

[truly-in-bliss]

i also lyk smh for its gittins article..helpful with eco.. and i also lyk little segments such as *the Big Question* *words*and column 8..

other than smh, The Age is also good...
