Within the article we find out that there are many different papers that are strongly against the religion of Islam. However, what we do learn is that whenever the term 'Muslim/Islam' is mentioned in a paper, only 1 in 6 times do we see the word 'extremist' coined with it, across all of the newspapers.
In my opinion, what was said in some of the newspapers was extremely one sided and very biased, and representing Muslims in a negative manner. For example, The Daily Express use headlines such as 'Muslims tell British: Go to hell', this is wrong in my opinion, and formulates a negative image to the reader and only shows one side of the view on the religion. The Telegraph on the other hand, is very formal and shows mainly facts within their articles and are not biased within their reports. They use formal headlines which more like accounts of the event and not aiming to form an opinion within the reader. The paper has to be especially safe when it comes to certain news stories, for example the ISIS situation is getting a lot of coverage, and the telegraph, a long with many other broadsheet papers. this event was covered by tabloid newspapers in a way that caused hatred against ISIS and tried t get their readers riled up about the situation, which is wrong in my opinion as the reader should be able to form their own opinion and not get their opinion made up for them.
The view the papers give of this religion is rather shocking if you ask me, as they are aloud to generalise the religion and not specify that it is certain individuals causing damage.

Credibility - this is the measure of how believable something is, and whether a newspaper is telling the truth or not. Things that can help build the credibility of a newspaper is the use of various things, such as; quotes, images (however, with the introduction of photo shop in recent years, this source has become a lot less reliable) dates, names etc. It is important for a newspaper to be credible, as it is documenting news stories from around the world, and if the articles are not at all credible, readers could get suspicious of the content and take libel action against it.
Readability - this is how well the paper does in getting its' audience to read the paper. things that can have an impact on this are; images, layout of text, colour, size of headline, advertisements etc. Readability is really crucial for a newspaper to get right as it is the sole way the paper itself is going to get noticed. with the right balance in layout and colour, you can easily catch the eye of anyone of you planned target audience, and this is obviously crucial for the paper so that they therefor make more sales which leads to much higher profit.
