Analysing newspapers



Main image - statue of liberty ashamed.

Binary opposition - Black and white. Main statue usually a proud statue now it's ashamed.
Iconography - Statue of liberty, dull colours, background city.
Semiotics - "What have they done?" negative questioning.



Main image - President Trump with his success of becoming president.
Headline - "The new world"
Quote - "You will be so proud of your president"
Binary opposition - High lighting for Trump yet lower lighting for the person next to him.
Iconography - Main president, Big suit, American flag.
Semiotics - "New world" showing Trump is going to have a positive/ negative impact on the world.

Tabloid vs broadsheet

A tabloid is a newspaper which is typically more popular in style and includes different stories. A broadsheet is a large paper print with lots more information over pictures.
Then explain the following information about the Mirror and 

The Times.

Ownership - The mirror = Reach Plc (Daily mirror, Sunday)
                     The Times = Rupert Murdoch
Reach Plc is a corporation publishing multiple newspapers whereas Rupert Murdoch is an individual who owns different organisations such as Fox news, Sky and 21st Century Fox.  
As Rupert Murdoch owns these different organisations he can control what he want's published which means the newspapers will be biased towards his opinion instead of displaying pros and cons and giving an unbiased opinion. Following C&S theory the media is controlled by different firms as there are multiple organisations owned by the same person.
