A comparison of the magazine articles by John Pilger and Tony Parsons, analysing the way they appeal to different audiences and the effect of the language on behaviour and opinion.

John Pilger's article 'The Man With No Name' appeared in the 'New Statesmen' in June 1991. The magazine is left wing, and aimed at the middle and upper classes of society.

I believe that Pilger's article is suited for reader of a higher intellect, and is perfect for the 'New Statesmen'. The magazine promotes its ideas in such a way that one tends to think that it is reliable source of information.

Tony Parsons' article 'Beggars Of Britain' appeared in 'Arena' in October 1991. The magazine is aimed at young people probably in their teens or twenties.

I believe that Parsons' article is suitable for my own age group, which is of the age fifteen to twenty years old. The magazine itself is glossy and full of text and pictures that blend in.

It would have been helpful if the articles provided were in there original form. Graphics are generally very useful for promo
