Analysis of South London Press




The South London Press is a twice-weekly tabloid newspaper. The newspaper was founded in 1865. It was formerly part of the Trinity Mirror empire, it was sold to Tindle Newspapers in the summer of 2007.

- In terms of language 'SLP' tends to be more informal in which they sometimes use puns as headlines and using colloquial language such as 'bums'. In addition they employ alliteration in their articles for emphasis. An example of this within the issue shown above was the use of the phrase 'super sewer'.

- In terms of content within the newspaper , it tends to focus on people within the communities focusing on stories such as 'Attacked mum is a true role model'. SLP tends to create a familiarity with the victims and tends to distance themselves from the offender. This shows that SLP cares very much about the inhabitants of the community.

- South London Press uses numerous photo's on their front page with a large headline which implies that it takes more of a tabloid style layout.
