DailyMail - UK schools could close for TWO MONTHS under plan to contain coronavirus as cases rise and medics warn the old and infirm may NOT get treatment
This story focuses on the emergency plans drawn up by health officials to contain the corona virus by closing all schools in the UK for at least two hole months in order to not risk the lives of school children. In addition it is stated that other major events such as football matches and concerts may also be at risk of suspension. The article then goes onto talking about all the different cases being confirmed within the UK by health officials. This story appeals to the DailyMail audience as they are of a much older demographic and so they are more likely to have children and so this news will be beneficial to them and their child. To me this is quality journalism as it is a way of 'Surveillance' giving the audience a way to gather credible information.
Inews - Prince Harry and Megan Markle's security: Canada will not pay bill after they quit royal family
This story reveals how Canadian government has come out and revealed that they will no longer provide security for Prince Harry and Megan Markle when they step down as royals. The story then goes on to talk about taxpayers cost which may have some relevancy but could be seen as click-bait from Inews as they are going onto a different topic. I don't really think this is hard news as it's not like it has a massive affect on our lives, it's more to do with the couple themselves - being their situation. I do sill think it appeals to Inews' audience because most of them are British and know of Harry and Megan and all the current controversy surrounding them
