UK newspapers: how representations reconstruct reality

UK newspapers: how representations reconstruct reality

Every producer has an ideology and this is reflected in their newspapers
  • Every newspaper has a bias/belief
  • Targets the target audience
  • For financial reasons 
  • To manipulate target audiences to agree with their ideology
  • Newspapers and political parties have a relationship
  • High angle, close up shot of Boris- Shame stupidity and guilt
  • Anchorage of "Lockdown" big in the news and will resonate with the audience
  • Lexis of the acronin 'PM' assumes the audience will understand what this means
  • Lexis of 'Police investigate' suggest danger and the idea that the priminister has done something wrong
  • His facial expression may suggest mockery and un-seriousness
  • The Times is clearly critical of his power
  • The accusations made by the times are less extreme as the accusations of the daily mirror's paper
  • Public perception of Boris is so bad that they have to go along with it





  • Thumbnail image: mise-en-scene of her large breasts
  • Voyeurism- pleasure at looking at somebody
  • Exaggerated lexis so sexualise the images
  • Mode of address of a much older man 
  • Erotic fiction-smut
  • "the beauty put on another busty display"- language used suggests that the woman is actively showing off her body to audiences
  • All the comments on this are very sexist
  • soft-core pornography suggested by comments
