Comparing different styles

I read this new in the link joint below and also in the REUTERS agency.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8065651.stm

Both of them are easy to understand and to read, but I realised that the new publisheb by REUTERS, as it is the basis for the rest of communicators, it is brief, clear and written with very common words. On the other side, the article published by BBC is more longer and the words seem to me that they are more technical. I suppose that we can see more differences if you choose a technical article (for example, about economics) and you compare it with one article related to society. And also, we have to take into account that there are also differences if you see the same new in different newspapers (according to the political ideology) and if you listen to it on the radio or in TV.

What do you think about??
