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.
