Below in the pictures are the codes and the conventions for each of the newspapers (Broadsheet and Tabloid).
The sun being a tabloid makes it very different to the times as the sun has different features or if it has similarities they are 2 very different styles. Like for example both papers have a masthead but they are very different from each other. The sun's masthead has color and the times one is very plain and formal. Each of the newspapers has a photo on the front page but the photos are of 2 very different things, the sun shows a woman that is dressed in a dress ready for a night out meanwhile the times has a very different image is a picture of a woman dressed in a business like way. Now the differences occur and shows the difference in tabloid to broadsheet, the sun has a "Pug" in this case saying about an Xmas tree. Another feature of the sun is the strapline which is below the headline on the newspaper saying about a family being handed 42K. However the times is completely different is a much more formally laid out newspaper and has a consistent style across the front cover. For example having a crosshead, caption to the picture to tell the reader what the picture is about. The times also has a byline across the bottom of the headline which is also formal as well rather than the sun's informal strapline.
Adam you need to go into a lot more detail about the Audience and codes and conventions for the two newspapers. So far you have just listed the titles of the codes and conventions however you need to explain how they are obvious in the examples you have chosen. I also want you to tell me more about the audience for each, their age and social type etc.
