This article pretty much explains how the coronavirus came about and explains that

it can be countered if we put trust in experts furthermore linking to how past diseases have been also countered. Also, the article tells people to remain calm and not overthink what is happening. In addition, the article compares coronavirus to past epidemics saying

we are experiencing a cycle.

I believe this is an example of Hard news because the subject matter is very suited to it.

This story appeals to people because of the subject matter as coronavirus epidemic is something that is very prominent at the moment and people want to know as much as they can.

I believe that it somewhat reflects the newspaper as it seems to be very factual and informative which is what the I values.

This article shows the effects of the ghastly showers in the uk which have caused the northern and eastern areas of the uk to flood, Furthermore, the title is a bit clickbaity as the article doesn't really talk about Boris Johnson all that much as the title explains. Also, the article explains how these floods have been one of the most devastating in uk history.

This is an example of hard news as the article is very informative on the dangers of the floods and the impact it has had on the people affected by them.

This story appeals to the audience in a hard hitting way because of the pictures as well and how they show the damage caused by the floods.

This story does not really reflect the values as it calls out Boris Johnson who is a conservative like the newspaper.
