The Guardian:
Website
The Guardian's news online differs from their print as it includes multiple articles on the home page which would translate to the front page on a print; showing that lots of different headlines can be shown on one page, whereas on a print, there would be one main headline with few stories underneath. It also differs at it includes live updates, videos and the weather, which the print does not have as once it has been printed, that's how it will stay. The website includes lots more information more quickly as it is easier to find older news stories as there is a search bar, in which, readers can search for certain articles or key words to find the information they need which is overall more accessible for readers to find anything the Guardian has made news on all in one place. It also differs as news prints cost money every time you buy, whereas online you can pay a subscription fee for live updates to become a supporter of the Guardian, which helps to fund the website as subscribers pay monthly or annual fees to the site.
It entices it's readers through the idea of having every reported news story available in one place so that they can find any news story from any time. It makes them want to keep coming back to the site as everything is easier to access, especially specific news stories through the simple layout as each type of news is split onto a specific category which can help to find what news each individual wants to look for.
The online edition also includes more photos than shown in print so that it makes it easier for those to understand without reading, which will help if they're in a hurry and want quick news as they have other things to do. It also includes online crosswords so that the print value of crosswords haven't been missed, creating an adapted line between website and newspaper.

Along with subscriptions as the source of income, the Guardian also makes money through those who pay for advertisements on the site so that they have two strong valued sources of income.
Daily Mail Online
Website
The Daily Mail's news online differs from their print as it shows live articles on it's feed; the homepage is covered in up to date news with places where people can comment and/or share to another website. It also has multiple ads on the page, showing a source of income. It also includes a link to Facebook as on the top bar it includes how many likes it's received on Facebook; 12.5 million. It's contemporary as it includes the time it was last updated with information as well as categories that each set of news is sorted into.
The target audience would be more younger news lovers as they have adapted with the new technology, making it easier for them to access in comparison to the older generation as they may not have much online experience, so struggle with the new adaptation on news, which is why they would rather settle for print news.
It also has a search bar, in which, anyone on the site and search for specific news to their interests, making stories much easier to access.
