The corpus consists of a compilation of headlines published over the period of one month (from 20th January to 20th February), which have been extracted from four broadsheets: The Guardian, The Independent, The Financial Times and The Telegraph; and four tabloids: The Sun, The Mirror, The Express and The Daily Mail.
