The second headline on the front page was also political which too is hard news. The Sun is a tabloid which means it is smaller and easier to read. There are pictures of warships on the front to draw peoples attention, also its more understandable. There are no advertisements most likely because The Sun does not rely on making their money from advertisements as they charge money to get their newspaper.
The second newspaper is in-fact the 'The Times' published on Thursday 13 January 2011 the Headline isn't as big as The Sun's above, the main story is about Britain having to save the Euro, this is hard news. Although the picture is significantly smaller than the second stories, i believe they've used the text to seem like the French PM is trapped in a sticky situation, pressured and stuck.
The second story is about a boy who died saving his brother in a flood, this is also hard news because someone died. What they've done is made the picture really big to show the appreciation of the sacrifice he made. There are Advertisements on the page, they do this so they will earn more money. 'The Times' itself looks highly intellectual compared to 'The Sun'. It is a broadsheet, so its a generally bigger newspaper, normally six rows across.
