Comparing two articles...

Artical 1:BBC News - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34385770
Article 2 Sky News - http://news.sky.com/story/1560551/british-is-fighters-hit-with-un-sanctions

The BBC article was very long and explained everything in much more detail than the Sky News report. Both reports are about the four British IS fighters, in the BBC article it names and mentions what each one has done. "Aqsa Mahmood, 21, has been accused of recruiting three London schoolgirls to join IS". The Sky News report has just mentioned their names and picked one woman to talk about. This could be because the BBC is more of a serious news page that is to keep people fully informed whereas the Sky News report is a sports channel and so the lack of information on world affairs  is likely. People would be expecting more of an explanation from daily news rather than sport news.


The Articles have some of the same content but the BBC has an analysis of the situation and talks about as much of the situation as they can. The BBC uses quote from the prime minister whereas the Sky report uses quotes from people such as the government spokeswoman. This could suggest that the BBC is more important to give news across and uses more formal language.
