How did it happen?
doesn't say 
A man allegedly murdered a baby with a hammer.

Why did it happen?
doesn't say 
Sometimes the ‘father’ said he’d say maybe they aren’t his children.

What do you notice about the difference in content and how the articles convey this information? Why do you think that is?

 The guardian shows a-lot less in detail information, this could be to protect the consumer/ family of the dead, or it is their approach to gruesome news. 
The daily mirror, seems to focus right in on the details of the news, for example detailing how the death occured and what happened and why. This is a much harsher approach to the situation at hand.
