The use of short to the point bullet points stands out as it allows information to be found quick and easy for people who want to find out about his death without wading through a lot of unnecessary details. The average number of words per a sentence is 14 which shows how all the sentences are simple sentences.
|
The story includes a lot of information on his death and people’s reactions to this fact which shows people in mourning and how the world has woken up to this tragedy. The article misses out information about his life so people who did not know him would not understand the importance of him.
|
The article uses formal language and serious language to show that someone died and to respect his death, the sentences are short and to the point as people who are shocked by the news will want quick and easy to understand information.
|
The article at times shows him as a regular drug user which then seems to show him as a bad example for this and showing that he is living a ‘’pop-stars’’ lifestyle. The article is also trying to insinuate that he killed himself and not show much evidence why he was famous and why he would want to be alive.
|
Photographs have been chosen of him looking good and powerful to show how much he will be missed and how he made an impact on his job. Other photographs have been taken and have been shown as blurred to show how quick Bella Thorne took to social media to mourn Lil Peep’s death.
|
The headline is less about his death but more about how Bella Thorne is dealing with his death which takes away from the fact that he is dead and more on drawing attention to Bella Thorne. The techniques used for the headline was a quote so the newspaper could not be sued for getting the information wrong as not enough information has come out about him yet.
