Ear Found In Pavement

A construction company decided three months ago to make a new hotel in front of the Premià de Mar beach. Yesterday, while the workers where renewing the pavement, they found a little strange thing in it. They realized that the strange thing was an ear, so before going on, they called the police. Once there, they took the ear to the laboratory to look who was it from. Finally the scientifics discovered that the ear was from a Mafia Capone, who the police were looking for. The police say that this is very strange because some weeks ago the Mafia Capone gave signals of life, so thy still believed he was alive. Now his case has been closed until something appears.

The Midnight Attack!!

Last Tuesday Juan Luna, a 28-year-old construction worker from north Huston, was shot to death in the chest during a robbery at his home. He died some hours later at Memorial Hermann Hospital. The gunman went out of a car and pointed him with a gun and fired one shot. Then he sped away in a dark-coloured-car.
Right now Huston homicide detectives are investigating and requesting assistance from any possible witness.

Types of news papers in UK

We have been studying the newspapers and here there are our conclusions.

So, there are two types of newspapers:

1. Broadsheets: They are the most serious..

2. Tabloid press: They are sensational, they have gossip columns...

There are three formats when we talk about the size:

Broadsheets format 600 mm by 380 mm. Ex: The Times.

Tabloids: half the size of broadsheets at 380 mm by 300 mm Ex: The sun

:Berliner or Midi:: 470 mm by 315 mm used by European.Ex:El Pais

There is a type of journalism called yellow journalism: It was sensational and it was meant to angry and exit the people, rather than to inform.

Now, we are going to talk about two newspapers, The Guardian and The sun:

The Guardian

It its a broadsheet paper. It is in Berliner format.

It was founded in Manchester, by a group of non-conformist people, headed by John Edward Taylor.

The price of the daily newspaper is 80 P.

The Guardian comes with the G2 supplement containing feature articles, columns, television and radio listings, and the quick crossword. Since the change to the Berliner format, there is a separate daily Sport section. Other regular supplements during the week are shown below.

The sun

The sun is a daily tabloid newspaper. It was firs published on broadsheet format, on 15 September 1964.The word SUN stood for Student Union Newspaper.

They talk about pop music stories, gossip, television stories, concentrating on soaps and reality TV. Its head lines are witty, pertinent, outrageous or blatantly offensive.

The Sun's brash headlines and bold presentation of news have made it a consistent subject of controversy and criticism throughout Rupert Murdoch's ownership.
