The creative media in the video talks about how the Newspaper Press has many different types of paper the public may be able to read, but the two main published Newspaper are 'The Sun' and 'Times'. The Sun is a tabloid newspaper witch has more of a prominent emphasis on its images than its documented materiel, Times on the other hand is a broad sheet witch emphasis on its documented materiel than its images.

The Sun is more of a light hatred and almost comedic Newspaper as most of its front page titles are either direct jokes or puns, an example to The Sun's humour is the infamous tittle 'Bin Bagged' in response to the assassination of Osama Bin Laden. As mentioned before The Sun is a tabloid witch means that The Sun focuses on the more general gossip that is spread around the public with some journalism with other media outlets, investigations and interviews.

Times is a broad sheet newspaper witch goes to extensive research involving media outlets and personal interviews with know contributes towards a story. Unlike The Sun Times dose not have a comedic under tone, focusing on the facts and given information. Times display is more formal and filled with particular information on certain subjects that give detail descriptions of the occurrences.
