The Guardian VS the Daily Mail: articles about patriotism

View article

The Guardian questions the idea of patriotism to make their viewers reflect on the meaning of it. This is also the same on another article they wrote about patriotism: How we can shape a progressive patriotism.

This is different for the daily mail who try and create a sense of urgency and outrage with more dramatic titles, for example in the article Patriotism in free-fall: Just 39% of US adults and 18% of young people are ‘extremely proud’ to be American they try and cause outrage about how patriotism is so low, especially in the younger generation. Furthermore in their article they include a photo of a protest to make their article more dramatic compared to the guardian’s article which includes a photo of a hand holding up an american flag.
