newspaper language

This is a broadsheet that fits this title because it has formal language on the front of the first page . It is describing about the Brexit news and how that it can cost £66bn a year . Brexit should be one of the top storeys to be based on the front cover as its the main focus right now for Britain . This is a serious topic and therefore fits the broadsheet perceptive . This is about politics finance and other international news that you probably would not find as much on the front cover n things like red top tabloids . The front cover is in bold black writing to stand out however the other topics on the front cover are not as bold or as dark as the main focus . You can tell that this is a upper class reader because from the topics based .
