LO4: analysis of mode or address and use of language

My article talks about the current situation that the NHS currently faces, the article would be distributed using citizen journalism resources i.e. Buzz feed and Reddit and how the younger generation ages 15-25 feels about this and about the prospect of having a privatised healthcare system the mode of address of my article is teacher to pupil, as it is aimed at the younger generation and I was tying to use restrictive codes so everyone could understand my article and not be fazed by any of the terminology or phrases and also so my audience know where I am coming from i.e.

"If the NHS was run as a private institution it would be run for a profit meaning you have to pay for medical treatment. In short if you can’t pay you don’t get treated, like it is in America." So then do the young people in Sheffield think of the healthcare system and so my points seem justified and have reasons behind them and don't just seem random or unjustified for example I have explained the reason behind the article and shown why it is such a hot topic and explains to the reader why its relevant
"As we faces the biggest shake up in British politics for years and the future of our health system hangs in the balance and the young adults of the country face the further privatisation of the NHS if the decision to leave the EU doesn’t go well."By choosing this mode of address I have put no assumption of how up to date with current affairs they are making my article open to a wider audience making it more accessible which adds to the news values. In my language choices I have used language techniques to further my articles point for example I used statements I'm my articles from interviewees to make the information appear more true fore example "They [A&E waiting times] are too long" I have used rhetorical questions in my article to make my readers think and try and get them involved i.e. " What can you do" that is why I made this line a heading. "R
educing the quality of care for other patients because people couldn’t control their eating habits for the sake of others." this is an example of how I used hyperbole to put emphasis on my point to the reader and try to get them to understand the knock on effect of poor care. I used facts and statistics from reliable sources to work like a primary definer i.e. "over half a million cases of obesity [MF1] and 524,725 people were referred to specialists"
