The paradise paper story cover

-

Write up a description of the main differences between the two front pages from The Guardian and The Daily Mail, looking at both conventions and how the stories have been presented to the reader.

On the guardians front page they use the colour yellow to represent the paradise paper story, there is bits of yellow all over the front cover of the guardian, they also have palm tree's and the sun, which are pictures of 'paradise'. The guardian has one main visual image which is of the queen. The view of this newspaper is left wing and the comments made on this are negative towards the queen, as if they were attacking her. The yellow links to exposure and it is highlighted so it stands out to the reader.

On the daily mails front page there is just 'QUEEN DRAGGED INTO £10M OFFSHORE TAX ROW' with no main visual image of the queen herself, it is just a picture of the actress Millie Bobbie Brown. The queen is seen to be the victim in this as the verb 'dragged' puts emphasis on how she is innocent in this whole scandal.                                                                                                                                                    

Write a paragraph outlining why you think the Guardian created a series of news articles looking at the same issue and how that may reflect the newspapers political ideology and news values.

The guardians used the yellow splash over the 4 days to create the idea of relevancy to their audiences within that time to show the ongoing nature of 'the paradise papers.' This reinforces the guardians political views of their socialist views along with the economy. Britain is a mainstreamed capitalist society, in which the guardians questions the freedom of the press. This helps gain audience and heightens public interest as a snowballing ordeal with moralist views.

Look at the Mirror, The Daily Telegraph, Daily Express and the Independent online newspaper and consider what you learn about these two publications from their versions of the story and the front page conventions.

The style of the broadsheet is Berliner and uses negative language such as 'controversial' and 'exploiting', influencing the audience with left wing views of the whole coverage on the 'Paradise Papers'.

Look at the online versions of these stories via Mail Online and The Guardian website. Compare and contrast their coverage. Use the sites to find out as much as you can about the story, so you fully understand it. What other media elements do the two websites provide readers (e.g.: audio or video clips, hyperlinks to other sites or connected stories).

The guardians online news story still has the yellow theme and stuck to their left wing ideology by using words like 'reveals secrets' and 'hidden' words like this still keeps the celebrities in the negative light. 

Look at social media sites and explain how you think they encourage readers to interact with the story.

Statement of intent

How do you intend to use the four areas of the media theoretical framework to communicate meaning and meet the requirements of your chosen brief? (approx. 400 words) The artist that I am creating is going to be a duo, their name is going to represent the type of music they’re going to produce and it’s going to stand out. The logo for the artist is going to look clean and modern, as this then represents the artist and also the type of music they listen too. The logo is going to have the same colours as the rest of the website so then they all match and makes it look simple yet modern. The duo is in their teens so they can relate to the younger audience, the music video is also going to have a young look to it, but also still make it mature for the younger people. My artists’ logo and name is going to represent the type of music they’re going to produce, so the logo is going to include bright colours to help it stand out from the rest of the other artists logos. In the music vide...

Mail online teenagers

Teenagers spend 40 days a year looking at their mobile phones. In this article they use negative words about the teenagers, the most popular one is 'addictive' or 'addicted' and then that shortly follows with the word phone. probably the most positive word in the article is 'London came last with 37 days', this is the most positive word in the article as the rest is negative and saying how every teenager spends over 2 hours on their phone and that they're 'glued' to their phone. This article shows us what adults think about us and how much time we spend on our phones, these attitudes are not fair and they're not always true as no every teenager spends that much time on their phone and with this they are using one big stereotype that teenagers can't live without their phone and if they are without it then they have anxiety. I can tell that they've ranged this at all the teenagers instead of some of the teenagers. The pictu...
