... To compare the way three news publications, The Times, The Mirror and Newsweek, an American weekly magazine, reported the same incident, "A Disaster in the Alps" For this essay, I have been asked to compare three different news reports of the same incident - 'Disaster in the Alps'. On the 3rd of February 1998, a US fighter plane severed the cable of a ski lift in the Italian Alps. A cable car with 20 occupants inside fell to the ground and all were killed. The incident was widely reported in the British and American press, but the three publications I am looking at are; The Mirror, The Times and Newsweek. The Mirror is a tabloid paper. It uses pacy, dramatic language, bold type and pull quotes to report on the incident. The Times is a broadsheet paper. It is known as the establishment newspaper, has a reputation for investigative journalism and uses calm language
