Daily mirror Trump post

This take on Trump's election from the Daily Mirror is delivered with a sense of great importance. We can tell this because it takes up the whole front cover (apart from a standalone at the top). This attracts the audience to buy this as they see that it is a very important piece of news. The image is very large and significantly larger than the text. This is to show the Mirror's left-wing opinion on the election of Donald Trump and how bad it is.

On the other side (or wing), the Daily Mail present Trump's election a lot more positively with a photo of him looking victorious. Similarly, the article takes up the whole page and is delivered with a sense of importance. The word 'Trumpquake' is in bold letters across the front, to not only add a sense of humour to it considering the US just elected DONALD TRUMP as president, but to show the significance of how big he is to World politics.

The band won record of the year in 2014 for their single, Radioactive. Since then, their success has continued and they have 25 million singles in 2017. One of the band's main music videos is for their song 'On Top of the World'. It uses both narrative and thematic settings throughout the video. It is made satirical by exploiting American conspiracy theories. There is a large scene in the video in which it shows the moon landing to be fake in a comedic style. The video also shows diversity and a togetherness of the community by using different social classes and different cultures as the astronauts who 'go to space'.
