Events that have occurred and tend to have a powerful or meaningful impact on society, can be reported in the form of a broadcast or a published report for everyone to see, read or hear. News can be reported in different categories such as in the form of entertainment, sports, politics, business or just local news. For newspapers, readers can find that certain events that were reported on one newspaper, was not published by another. This can be due to the newspapers initial focus on specific subjects, in which the editors might feel to be more significant to its specific target audience. Newspaper readers might notice a difference in editorial content or written style. For example, one newspaper might emphasize its news more on business and the economy, such as The Wall Street Journal. While another newspaper will focus more on political and international issues, and have great quality reporting material, such as the New York Times.

Your abstract explains why newspapers bias their reports, but you need to be more specific about why these papers are different? I would like you to rewrite this with at least 3 examples of why the papers report the news differently? Cite some examples and why you think they are significant.
Events that have occurred and tend to have a powerful or meaningful impact on society, can be reported in the form of a broadcast or a published report for everyone to see, read or hear. News can be reported in different categories such as in the form of entertainment, sports, politics, business or just local news. For newspapers, readers can find that certain events that were reported on one newspaper, was not published by another. This can be due to the newspapers initial focus on specific subjects, in which the editors might feel to be more significant to its specific target audience. For instance, a suburban resident might be interested more in knowing more about world news, restaurants, or entertainment, just to name a few. The New York Times tends to focus on these kind of topics. Hence the New York Times, but be appealing to a suburban resident. El Vocero, a Puerto Rican Newspaper will not attract, lets say a broker from wall street. However, this type of newspaper attracts Puerto Ricans and Hispanics who are interested in what’s happening in their native lands. They want to be kept up to date on the countries sports teams or politics, such as that from Puerto Rico. Another paper I choose is the Wall Street Journal. This type of paper appeases business people and investors. The majority of people who read this source, look for what is trending economically, what to look out for before investing or how well a particular company is doing. Therefore, there are different papers that report different news according to its initial focus on a specific target community.
