  • By Kevin Kelly
    Are the tabloids helping or hindering our progress? By Kevin Kelly (i) Executive Summary The aim of this study was to highlight the impact positive/ negative of the tabloid media in this country. The findings were pretty conclusive – the overwhelming message is negative. In terms of space allocated, twice as much space is allocated to negative headlines as opposed to positive one. Please note that for the purposes of this study; I didn’t include subheadlines and associated pictures which without doubt would have made the statistics even more negative. Negative headlines aren’t just allocated more space – they have more impact in terms of design ie font size/underlining/reverse etc. Collage without Independent Independent review: (Note we wanted to show both graphics considering that the Irish Independent isn’t considered a tabloid in the true sense of the word.) In terms of the number of positive to negative headlines; here are the stats: Positive Negative Neutral Total: 348 462 115 Totals without Irish Independent: 253 396 92 Daily Sun 58 85 30 Daily Star 79 110 25 Daily Mirror 62 92 18 Daily Mail 54 109 19 Irish Independent 95 66 23 This over emphasis on negative stories in the authors opinion has a negative knock on effect on consumer confidence – if peoples mind’s are continually filled with negativity, it is hard to expect them to be filled with confidence and want to go out and spend. Ironically their spending goes hand and hand with Advertising spend. Thus one could argue that the current editorial policy is damaging both the consumer and the newspaper.
