Blog tasks: Daily Mirror case study

 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: Title
Pug :display price logo issue numbers
Splash Head: lead story
Slogan: short sentence thats eye catching and snappy
Dateline:  date its published 
Byline: authors name
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.

Gary Linker being back on bbc after being kicked out.

3) What is the 'pug' or smaller celebrity story on the front cover? Why might it appeal to Daily Mirror readers?

its eye catching meaning more people would buy it also due to it being more soft news

4) Why is the choice of news stories, content and page design on the Mirror CSP front page typical of a tabloid newspaper?

The choice of the news stories, content and page design on the Mirror CSP front page is a typical tabloid newspapers as it has a images, less information, it is soft news, the use of language is informal, and they talk more about gossips and social equality. 

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

Balance between images headlines and texts with larger texts and range of images

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 Party which is left wing

2) How does the Daily Mirror represent Gary Lineker in the CSP pages? Why do you think they present him in this way?

they present him as a hero and bbc as villians due to them being a labour party showing there importance

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

Hes represented as higher class and greedy

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

The Conservative Party are represented in the Daily Mirror by showing how the chairman "Richard" is more on the right-wing side 

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?

The different people, groups and organisations are represented in the Daily Mirror as soft-news like Sugar where they reinforce the stereotypes of the Labour party where their news are less serious and have more gossips on it. However, there are parts about the chairman where the news talks about business and about how much the chairman has earned. This subverts the streotypes of the Daily Mirror as the information about the chairman is more on the Conservative party.
