More newspaper headlines and analysis


The headline for this issue of the Sun emphasises it's racist views on the Islamic people of the UK. It uses bold writing to make the story seem attractive to it's target audience. The stereotypes about this group of people show that they are right-wing. The newspaper is clearly a tabloid and this is identifiable by the large text and the big pictures. The newspaper is owned by a right-wing upper class man named Rupert Murdoch and this is where the opinions are formed.


Similarly, this newspaper uses a racist headline to please it's target audience. There is also some other aspects of this tabloid that is worth noting too. For example, the strap line uses the fact that the man killed had a foreign accent. This will grab the attention of the wing target audience and it will also grab the attention of Polish people. The standalone also features reality TV which is commonly associated with working class people. 

Right-wing is an ideology which values tradition and entrepreneurship. It is hugely against change. Right-wing papers are usually against the Labour Party and Jeremy Corbyn and support parties like the Conservative party and UKIP.


This newspaper front page from the Daily Mirror uses a left-wing approach to the general election in 2017, showing success for the Labour Party and Jeremy Corbyn and the opposite for Theresa May and the Tories after they lost their majority. The Mirror felt that this was a big story as they did not use any standalone or any other features on the page. Instead, they opted to use the whole image to make it the only important thing in the news. The masthead features the phrase 'Fighting for you', implying that the Mirror is more of a working class paper. Some may even say that it is for the many, not the few.

Left-wing is an ideology that supports change for the better, it is more tolerant and supports LGBT rights. It cares more for citizens and doesn't approach the world with a 'hunger games' approach style where it doesn't matter if people die or not.

There are also many platforms in which these representations can be held within. These include trailers, TV shows and films. These platforms also have their own websites or places that they can be found. For example, trailers and other short clips can be find on one of the most popular websites in the world-YouTube.

Representation in print media

Representation Print based media has a great influence on people’s opinions and views of the different aspects of our society. It can give people biased and negative attitudes towards certain people or groups, as well as positive attitudes to people or things that may not necessarily deserve it. Newspapers, posters, magazines and newsletters can all change people’s opinions and shape the world we live in to their liking. Many would say that they do this for their own figures and their own money income. For example, The Sun previously printed topless ladies on every page 3 of their daily tabloid. These girls were undoubtedly beautiful, which then caused younger girls and even easily influenced women to want to ‘be like them’ in a sense. This obviously lead to them buying products and putting more money into the cash flow. These weren’t the only people that were targeted by this segment, however.

Barnardos: The Row advert

In this advert, there are many techniques used to make the the advert more effective. For example, it opens with a mid-shot of the child and there is screaming in the background. There is non-digetic music in the background which makes the mood seem depressing. It is also very informing as the information for the charity is on the screen at the end in a clear form.
