Newspaper Revision

Newspaper Revision

Practice task

• Prince Harry - Charles II

• The Mirror = Left-Leaning

• The Mirror represents Harry as being treated unfairly, which can make the audience of The Mirror sympathies with him, and have a negative view of Charles II

• This is done through media language, such as the secondary image of Prince Harry and the sub headline.

• This may have been done as The Mirror is not conservative - they want to challenge norms in the UK, allowing them to construct negative views of the monarchy/royal family

• (The monarchy has been in England for EONS)

Other facts

• Rupert Murdoch and Lord Rothermere own 52.2% of UK news

• This can lead to less opinions and representations being constructed, as their ideology will be reflected in the news

• (Curran & Seaton's theory on power in industries!!!)

• Bad news & negativity is always rated above positive stories

• News outlets are very competitive about breaking news - exclusivity

• The bigger impact a story has, the more people it affects

• Audiences relate more to stories that are close to them geographically, or involve people from their country

• Events which have a continuing impact will develop into an ongoing narrative, encouraging audiences to read the news over a longer time period

• Stories which are easy to explain are preferred over stories which are not

• Stories which cover important/powerful nations or people have greater news values than those less significant

Print gobbledygook Question 3 "Explain how cultural contexts influence the ways audiences interact with print and/or online news." How does the UK consume news The audience demands it Online news allows for more interaction "What has happened in our culture in the last 30 years that may have influenced how we interact with print and online newspapers?" Thanks to recent digital advancements and convergence, we are now able to become prosumers instead of consumers, and can make content or share our options with others about certain print and online newspapers. An example of this is comment sections on online newspapers, in which people can write about their opinions on the newspapers itself, and share them with others that may or may not agree. People now have shorter attention spans due to advancement of technology, and as a result interact with print and online newspapers more, as they constantly want a stream of news. Faster internet means that people no longer nee...
