newspaper language and representations

 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 block of the newspaper
Pug: something to catch the readers eye
Splash Head: the lead story
Slogan: sums up the ethos of newspaper
Dateline: date it was published
Byline: gives the name of journalists
Standfirst: introductory paragraph

2) What is the main story on the CSP edition of the Daily Mirror (see above)? Make sure you learn the headline and what the story is about.

the main story on the CSP edition of the daily mirror was for women 'to act as a mirror on feminine life' and was published in 1903

3) What is the 'pug' or smaller celebrity story on the front cover? Why might it appeal to Daily Mirror readers?
'Exclusive: post office scandal'
this appears to be on daily mirror and the phrase suggests this source of information wont be found elsewhere except this specific newspaper

4) Why is the choice of news stories, content and page design on the Mirror CSP front page typical of a tabloid newspaper?
its typically a tabloid newspaper as it tends to be easier to read, shorter articles, more images and the key focus is targeted towards celebrity gossip, sport and entertainment 
5) What is the balance on the Daily Mirror front page between images, headlines and text?
There is a balance on the Daily Mirror front page between images and text.This is shown on the CSP Daily Mirror newspaper as there is images of the innocent victims of the scandal whereas there is also images on the post office CEO. Throughout the front cover there is texts of 


Representations

1) What political party does the Daily Mirror support? Is there any evidence to support this in the CSP pages we have studied?

2) How does the Daily Mirror represent the Post Office in the CSP pages? Why do you think they present them in this way?

3) How is Fujitsu represented in the Daily Mirror CSP pages? Look particularly at the use of images on the front cover and the section on Fujitsu on the inside page. Give detailed answers with evidence from the CSP pages.

4) How are the Conservative Party represented in the Daily Mirror? Again, provide evidence from the CSP pages to support your answers.

5) Read the main articles on the inside pages. How are different people, groups and organisations represented in the Daily Mirror? Does this reinforce or subvert the stereotypes we usually see in the media?

His Dark Materials: Language and Representation blog tasks

  Language and close-textual analysis 1) Write an analysis of the episode - using  your notes from the screening in class .  Make specific, detailed reference to moments in the text using media terminology (e.g. media language - camera shots and movement, editing, diegetic/non-diegetic sound, mise-en-scene etc.) You can currently  watch His Dark Materials on BBC iPlayer here . Camerawork, editing and sound:  To start off the episode they utilise epic non diegetic music (meaning the characters can't hear the music) to set the atmosphere for the rest of the opening scene and the rest of the episode. They also use an establishing shot of the "city in the sky" in order to hook the audience and communicate that it will have heavy fantasy themes. When ever they show us Mrs Coulter they almost always show her on a low angle shot because it makes her seem more powerful and portrays her as a strong and important villain. Before the chase scene, when Lyra peaks her head o...
