Newspapers/ Observer beliefs

Broadsheets generally value hard news such as political news which is currently shown on the front page of the Observer in which a main article is labelled 'Politics: Tory and Labour MPs to force Brexit delay if May's deal is voted down' which is showing to their readers that they're not afraid to tackle difficult issues in the news. They also value an international outlook, covering foreign affairs, which is shown through the current article "Syria: Assad has decisively won his brutal battle", showing the believe it is right to educate their readers on affairs other than that which concern England.

They serve a broad audience by including sport, culture, the arts, with many featured articles: its balance of features reflects that it values culture as well as politics and hard news. Examples of featured articles and other audience genres would be the article: "Life without plastic: Pioneer families show how its done." and "Football: Fernandhino's glaring absence reveals flaw in Man City  masterplan."
