Tricky structure: comparing 40 articles from 3 Newspapers over 3 days.

I'm posting this because the Assignment outline isn't specific or very helpful, and I can't contact anyone who can help me right now.

This is not an essay.

I have 40 articles from 3 newspapers over the course of 3 days. Each one is relevant to the floods in Queensland, Australia: namely, how our Prime Minister is going to (well, has already) deal with the cost of rebuilding.

My task is to:
a) Compare and contrast the coverage within each of the three papers.
b) Compare and contrast the different papers with each other.
the comparisons will be about coverage, angles, tones, opinions, accuracy and so on.

I've read and summarized each article, but my issue is how to structure my response.
The combination of possible comparisons include the factors of time (because the articles were written directly after the announcement of the Flood Package, and discussion developed over those three days.) My head is in a spin...

How would you go about this?

(oh, and it hinted that a simple chronological structure wasn't a good idea)

The assignment is asking you to compare and contrast the bias of the 3 newspapers.

How do they differ in opinion over the rebuilding? Are they in favor or opposed to how the situation is being dealt with? Do they seem bias or are they just reporting? What are they're different points of views?

These are just examples of what you could compare and contrast.

Start by organizing main ideas that deal with comparing and contrasting the different newspapers

It was hinted a chronological order wasn't a good idea because it is irrelevant to what is most important, how do these newspapers differ and how are they similar?

p.s not a teacher

Write a paragraph about each of these. You can show both similarities and differences. You might use a paragraph to write about the "tone" used in all three newspapers and include examples. Actually, that might require several paragraphs.

Okay... I know what to do... I hope the prof allows you to use section headings. Make each of those words into a section heading, and in each section write one paragraph about each idea you want to share. This complex paper will need a lot of section headings! Use the headings to show that prof that you definitely are thoroughly following the instructions.

Then, you'll need section headings that show various observations you make about their coverage of the flood. What is the main idea you get when you compare their coverage of it? Make that into a section heading.

I hope that helps!! The key is to keep it simple and thorough and clear by using section headings. Do one at a time. You can probably write a few paragraphs about the sims and differences in tone easily, right now, for example, right? Just do the section on similarities and differences in tone. Write a few paragraphs about it...
