Conventions
broadsheet - print
the home page of website priorities hard news stories towards the top of the home page
the same traditional masthead is used as in the print edition
most home pages use a four-column layout which fills the homepages with news, connoting seriousness
most typography is serif, connoting formality
broadsheet - online
more extensive use of colour
opinion, lifestyle and sports pieces appear on the home page, these would not appear on print broadsheet front pages
some use of sans-serif fonts
tabloid - print
lifestyle, 'showbiz', and human-interest stories are prioritised towards the top of the home pages
fonts are sans-serif
use of saturated colour, especially red
photography dominates the home pages
the language register is more informal
the red-top tabloids all use the same red masthead as the print newspaper
tabloid - online
little use of banner headlines
the larger number of headlines connotes more 'newsiness' than the print front page
most headlines are not capitalised (except in the sun)
the home page layout is generally less photograph/image and headline dominated than the print front page
the large number of headlines means thar sone hard news stories are covered on the home page that would not appear on the front page of the print newspaper
