In this article from the Daily Mail, we are drawn into the story due to the word ''terror''. This is because we instantly relate this to terror attacks, which have recently become more popular around the world, and so we want to know the background. The many factors are also included in the story, with numbers and percentages to give extra information. Therefore, a large audience will rely on the Daily Mail to give them answers to their questions.
Unlike many other news papers, the Daily Mail actually gives us 13 bullet points about the story, before actually starting it. This again may add more information which any audience will be interested in.
The newspaper sensationalises the story by using the term ''terror'', as it wasn't aware of the person responsible at the point the story was written. Because of this, the writers are what is known as xenophobia's, as they are scared of certain people and instantly relate shootings to terrorists. Right winged papers will commonly do this as they are afraid of immigrants coming into the country and try to make others feel the same.
Many newspapers refer to attacks being down to terrorists, yet this story changed its words when an image was realised of the 58 year old shooter. It was originally suggested that the attack was a terror attack, however now we know the killer is actually a white American, the name he has been given is ''shooter'', which can be racist from all points of views.
