Analyse of Daily Mirror

The Daily mirror is a tabloid newspaper ,that is owned by trinity mirror. It tends to take a left-wing approach to stories.

This particular front cover focuses on Trumps election ,the paper strongly shows a left wing perception of this advent as it portrays Trumps election very negatively, this is probably because Trumps views are extremely right winged. At the same time the tabloid used humour to portray the advent, they decided to use the iconic statue of liberty which a large population of American's value and are proud of ,to show imply that it is a disaster/ embarrassment that Trump has been elected. Additionally the colour connotations shown on the main image are completely negative, the colours themselves suggestion danger, depression and death , The Daily Mirror are implying this is what Trump is going to cause. This is made even more explicit due to the fact that there is thick black smoke suggesting death and the fact that the city is in black and white gives the idea that the country is in a national depression after Trumps election.

The headline uses a rhetorical question to engage their readers to reflect on his election. Nevertheless the line has negative connotations as it implies an act of disaster has occurred which is not fixable. The subheading "its president trump..." suggest that the Daily Mirror are revealing this to their audience, the fact that they used ... could signify that the election of trump could lead to more negative stories about him , it could also show that Trumps election will lead to the scenario of the photo bellow. In addition the strapline uses directed address ,so the audience does not feel like this story is out of their proximity, it also signals the papers political bias as it shows that they think Trump will be a worldwide problem. This could link to why the stories threshold is large as Trinity Mirror believes trump will be a major problem.

In conclusion. the Daily Mirror have portrayed their political bias through many codes and conventions in this paper.

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 “male gaze” theory suggests that women are represented as passive objects of male desire, therefore when women appear on music videos they are sometimes portrayed as sexual objects.Due to i...

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...
