How the papers report the same news

For a really good analysis of the news values of our nationals,this morning's reports on Government's Migration Impact Forum

All report it,but concentrate on different ways on what they believe is its impact.

I have produced the first three paragraphs of the reports below


Guardian

Migrants are more skilled and often more reliable and hardworking than British workers, and are fuelling the country's economic growth to the tune of £6bn a year, according to the first official study of their impact published yesterday.
The report for the government's Migration Impact Forum also concludes that migrants on average earn more and so pay more tax than UK workers.

Times

Migrants are more reliable and harder working than British-born workers and are boosting economic output by £6 billion a year, according to a government study published yesterday.
Immigrants have a better work ethic than the British and are willing to work longer hours with less time off sick. Weekly mean earnings of migrants are also £60 higher than their UK counterparts.
But while large numbers of migrants bring overall economic benefits, their arrival may be hitting the wage levels of the unskilled, the study found.

Telegraph

Immigrant workers are both higher paid and more reliable than their British counterparts and contributed £6 billion to economic growth last year, a Government study said yesterday.
Migrants earned £424 a week on average, compared with £395 for UK workers, and paid more in tax than they consumed in services.
However, a separate paper issued together with the study by the Home Office admitted there were complaints about the impact of immigration on housing and other public services. Liam Byrne, the immigration minister, said the research showed that ''in the long run, our country and Exchequer are better off with immigration rather than without it".

Independent

Migrant workers contributed £6 billion to the country's economic growth last year and earned higher wages than their British counterparts, Home Office figures revealed yesterday.
The study concluded that new arrivals were harder-working, brought sought-after skills and paid more in tax than they used in public services.

Mail

Immigrants are placing a huge strain on public services, Labour finally admitted last night.
Crime is up, schools are struggling to cope with Eastern European children, community tensions are rising, health services are coming under enormous pressure and house prices are being driven up, the Government said.
The findings, based on a survey of public sector workers, are the first published by ministers after ten years of an 'open door' immigration policy.

Express

Many UK regions have reported concerns about the impact of immigration on housing, crime and health, according to a study on migrants from eastern Europe.
Feedback from the Government's regional co-ordination groups, to be presented to the Migration Impact Forum (MIF) in Whitehall, said migrants are putting pressure on the housing market and driving up rents, creating increased demand on GPs and contributing to tensions in the community.

Sun

LABOUR admitted last night that mass immigration strained our housing, schools and healthcare.
Immigration minister Liam Byrne said the influx had been “unsettling” for some areas.
And he admitted removing exit checks was a “mistake” – as now we do not know how many illegal immigrants are here.
He said the checks would be started again.
His comments came as a Home Office report revealed migrants boosted the economy by £6billion last year

Interesting.Only the Times led with the story,but the Guardian covered it on its second front page piece.Both those papers concentrated on the benefits in their openings,but the Times brings a negative effect on wage levels.The Indy was similar in its positive outlok as was the Telegraph which also introduced the second report on the impact on housing and public services.

Then to the red tops,no sign of the report in the Mirror,the Sun leading with the negatives as did the Express and the Mail which made no mention of the positives.

Surprising,not really
