For the final news portal story our group did our content analysis on what we thought was the most controversial topic at the moment. The out break of the mystery virus. This has been a headline on most if not all the newspapers recently and it has scared a lot of people.
We looked at five different newspaper articles the Times, Witness, Sowetan , The Sunday independent and the Mercury. We looked at how these different newspapers had reported on the same story: which page was the article on, how was the topic set out; the adjectives used how they affected the readers view or emotion about this virus. Were the headlines informative, sensational or neutral?
The mystery virus was identified as Lassa fever by the times and as the Arena virus by the other newspapers but what all the newspapers agreed on is that it was a mystery that has scared everyone.
