Both BBC news and the Evening Standard both wrote articles on Carlos Tevez's arrest for speeding. Here are the differences between them:
The BBC is more factual and balanced than the evening standard. This is because it only mentions his previous charges on speeding by saying he was "banned from driving for six months in January" whereas the Evening Standard mention a huge amount about his previous charges by putting in quotes about him saying,"There's the Tevez before, who had a problem, and there's the Tevez now, who no longer has problems" as well as mentioning his previous arrests, without doing anything but putting in extra facts, makes the article more critical of Tevez because as he has been caught again suggesting that his word isn't credible.
Mandeep Sanghera wrote an analysis article on BBC sport on Liverpool's 3-2 FA cup win over Tottenham. The language in this article is very different to the language to the informative articles described above:
Snaghera writes that Tottenham were "authors of their own downfall". This is an opinion from Sanghera whereas in the informative articles only factual information is presented with no analysis or opinions on the event. Sanghera also says that Liverpool's "Coutinho produced some lovely skill". This shows Sanghera is saying what he thinks about the event whereas in the Tevez articles, there was no mention of whether the author thought Tevez was guilty or innocent or whether he was in the right or wrong, despite implying different views by including different information.
