Language and representation of Daily Mirror

-

 Language


1) Write the definition of the following key language for newspaper front pages (you may want to add an example for each from our Daily Mirror CSP):

Masthead: The title
Pug: Catches readers eyes
Splash Head: the lead story
Slogan: Sums of newspapers
Dateline: When newspapers published.
Kicker: To draw interest in content
Byline: Name of writer
Standfirst: Introduction paragraph

2) How much does a copy of the Daily Mirror cost? (Note: the current cost is different to the CSP edition - we recommend learning both).  The Daily Mirror newspaper cost 90p

3) What are the main stories on the CSP edition of the Daily Mirror (see above)? Make sure you learn the headline and what the stories are about.   The main stories consist of the Pride Of Britain awards 2021 and global warming and rise of sea levels.

4) Why is the choice of news stories and content on the Mirror CSP front page typical of a tabloid newspaper? The content on the mirror csp consist of soft news such as sports and also serious topics like global warming this is because of a tabloid is more so balanced.

5) What is the balance on the Daily Mirror front page between images, headlines and text?


Representations

1) What political party does the Daily Mirror support? Is there any evidence to support this in the CSP pages we have studied? Labour this is because initially the daily mirror targeted the middle class but after WW2 changed there target audience to the working class who were affiliated with the Labour Party.

2) How does the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards represent ordinary British people?

3) How is climate change as an issue represented in the Daily Mirror? What evidence can you provide from the CSP pages to support this? Climate change is represented as a threat against the human race and if not found a solution could lead to serious consequences and harm.

4) How are environmental protesters like Greta Thunberg represented in the Daily Mirror? Look at the inside pages to answer this.

5) How are different countries and political leaders represented in the Daily Mirror? Does this reinforce or subvert the stereotypes we usually see in the media?  Political leaders are presented as useless which subverts stereotypes and other newspapers such as the Daily mail who have full support to the government.

Stranger Things Analysis.

  Lightning In the first 8 minutes of Stranger Things the lighting varies. As in the opening the lights flicker in the first scene of the laboratory corridor, this shows the impending danger that is yet to come in the following scenes. During the rest of the opening of stranger things the use of the contrast that is also known as 'binary opposition'of light vs dark shows a safe setting when the lights are bright but also a sense of eeriness and danger when the lights are dim and flickering. setting/costume The neighbourhood setting helps to indicate the dark and dangerous experience that the fictional character is about to go through. It is clearly a build up of the science-fiction show as the neighbourhood has a sense of a historical past. The costume supports this with the character wearing baggy dark clothing maybe showing the character is not trying to stand out and might imply they want to be protected . It may further reinforces, they are trying to hide from what's to...
