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
