Read the two newspaper articles, each of which adopts a different writing style:
Article 1: Refugees welcome? How UK and Germany compare on migration (Appendix 1)
Article 2: The human tide moving this way: Fury and fighting as rail station is closed to migrants (Appendix 2)
Compare and contrast the two writing styles and write an essay that explains which is nearer to the style of writing that is found in academic literature.
You should consider and comment on the following:
• The target audience in each case;
• The effect on the writing style as a result of targeting an audience;
• The effect of use of quotations and images on the reader;
• The relative usefulness of each article as a source of evidence in support of an essay on Mediterranean refugee crisis
