The Guardian website includes a simple layout with the title and links at the top. The font of the title is easy to read so it's accessable for everyone. As well as this, the colour scheme is simple, including only yellow, blue and white and black. The colours are inviting but also professional, there aren't too many colours so that it looks comical but not too little so that it looks too intimidating. The main stories are about Brexit and education, The Irish boarder and Labour, it shows that The Guardian is a heavily political news source. The word "brexit" and other political words are in bold to show their relevance, allowing the audience to see the relevance of the stories.
The main image includes a close-up high angle shot of Theresa May. It shows their slight bias against her and towards Labour in the form of her looking less powerful compared to a low angle medium shot of Tom Watson, showing him to be bigger and therefore more important. The lack of articles on the Conservative party show the Labour party bias.
The links at the top of the page include: "News", "Opinion", "Sport", "Culture", "Lifestyle" and "more". The inclusion of opinion before sports show The Guardian's desire to present their opinions on political matters appears more important than sports.
It also shows it's bias against the conservative party with mentions of "Johnson and Gove under fire for law-breaking" yet articles on Labour portray them to be benevolent and victimised. Furthermore there are multiple mentions of Labour in bold but no mention of the Conservative party, save for the word "Tory" which isn't in bold. Furthermore, the use of "The last thing you want" in the conservative party clearly shows the Observer's views on it.

The observer's twitter also posts images which ruin the conservative image such as the one above which clearly represents their bias against the conservatives in the form of anti-brexit marches and mocking images of Theresa May.
News now can be commented on in the form of social media and comment sections, unlike 50 years ago when no one could express their views on the news being fed to them. The news now is also more efficient due to the digital world it now lives in rather than only newspapers which would take a while to reach people, unlike the use of the internet, allowing for news to reach people much faster and be updated much faster also, allowing for almost 300 posts by the Observer on twitter alone.
