Introduction Magazines and newspapers use different language styles to convey messages. This essay will compare two articles from the New York Times: Still strong, Economy in China cools slightly and Following troops, Kenyan officials go to Somalia with an article from the Jakarta Post titled The rise of discontented Americans . Analyzing the Three Articles The article on Jakarta Post was posted on 17 th October, 2011. The first sentence of the article is a sarcastic phrase: “The land of plenty, the birth place of the revered Forbes list of richest men in the world” (Mariani 1). This is in contrast with what the article is all about. The article outlines how Americans are known to be rich. The article highlights some of the challenges that the American are facing, for instance, citizens are having problems at their places of work and unemployment is on the rise. On the article is a photo of a man holding out a flyer that is written “99% too big to fail!!” (Mariani 1). The article goes on to talk about how citizens have suffered from injustice and environmental destruction. According to the article, many citizens are dissatisfied with what the government has done to improve their welfare states (Mariani 1).

By engaging in a deep analysis of the three articles, it is clear that they all started with headlines which were almost of the same sizes. The New York Times articles had seven characters in their headlines while the Jakarta Post article had five words in the headline. They all included the authors of the articles and social sites such as Facebook and Twitter to share their information. The Jakarta Post article indicated the posting date and time while the New York Times articles only showed the date. The articles from the two newspapers were characterized by photographs which gave the reader a quick understanding and interpretation of ideas explained before reading the words. The New York Times articles had photographs which took larger spaces and were placed at the beginning of the articles. They were then followed by relatively smaller photographs than the first ones. The Jakarta Post article started with one big photograph and then two smaller ones for emphasis of their message. The use of photographs in these articles is appropriate. The Jakarta Post article was more detailed because it gave even the names of the persons who appeared on the photographs while the New York Times articles generalized the photographs. All the articles had a political link. The Jakarta post article pointed a finger at the Un
