Newspapers




How does 2 newspapers mediate a recent news advent?

 The Daily Star focuses on the work of the police force and ambulance teams, they focuses on the public sector which may show that their political bias is in favour of the public sectors like the NHS, this could show their left wing views. Additionally it doesn't mention the ethnicity of the attacker of, unlike The Sun; this could imply that they believed highlighting the work of the police and ambulance services was more important to them and that the ethnicity of the attacker isn’t important because anyone of any ethnicity can be a terrorist, this links to the fact that The Daily star has a left wing type of view. On the front cover of the daily star the main image is showing these workers helping injured victims, it also has the headline as “HEROS”, this emphasises, there opinion.

Meanwhile, The Sun talks about a” Jihadi killer”, considering jihadi means a struggle or fight against the enemies of Islam, gives it a negative representation as it associates terrorism with Islam, they purposely focus on the ethnicity, due to their right winged views ,they may be implying that Islam and Terrorism are related because there view point is generally ageist people immigrating to the UK, so they use a stereotype  to put people off the idea of people moving to the UK and to make it the dominate ideology. The main image shows graphic image of dead bodies to shock there readers to take their ideology.

Representation of women in music videos.

In this modern day era of music videos women are frequently presented as sex objects as they are wearing provocative clothing or erotic dancing is shown. This is also shown by the clothes they are wearing .An example of a music video that shows this is 'He like that' Fifth Harmony as they were wearing leotards and there dancing was sexualised . however they are represented as what would be considered an ideal body type by the media ,this puts the message across that this is how we should look.The media uses the stereotype of the way you dress determines how sexually available you are. The reason this is done is to attract a male target audience, as stereotypically men like to see women being sexy ,which could be classified as entertaining as part of the Uses and Gratification Theory.

The Daily Mirror analysis

Analyse the following covers in terms of how the technical codes ( main image, headline, pull quote etc.) persuade the audience to buy the newspaper and how the audience is being persuaded to respond to the main news story.Consider issues of iconography, binary oppositions and semiotics. The Daily Mirror is a traditionally left-wing paper owned by Reach and The Trinity group. The tabloid newspaper published a cover about the US election of Donald Trump on the 10th November 2016 which used many technical codes to sell its product as well as their news agenda. Furthermore, a range of theories such as Curran and Seaton power theory explain how The Daily Mirror maintain their position as a successful paper. The main image uses the iconography of The Statue of liberty and the idea of patriotism but creates a juxtaposition as the message conveys that it was idiotic to elect trump. The theory of semiotics by Barthes could be applied as the statue is a sign and through signification, th...
