They both contain a lot of adverts of the front/home page and they both feature a large, often sensationalist, headline with image/s to support the article. Both the print and online version contain copy that is just a taster of the full article.

It is also to make it easier to use as some older people struggle with technology so the paper still wants their older readers to be able to access the news when printed papers stop being produced. The news values in the Mail a...
