Blog Tasks: Daily Mirror case study

 Daily Mirror case study

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: the title block of the newspaper 
Pug: something to catch readers eye
Splash Head: the lead story 
Slogan: sums up the ethos of newspaper 
Dateline: date newspaper was published 
Byline: gives name pf writer 
Standfirst:  introductory paragraph usually in bold

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.

the post office scandal and how post office owners had to pay back thousands of it 

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

the post office scandal and Eddie the eagle Olympics story. 

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

because there is a lot of images and small text

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

the front page 3 headlines , 5 images and 3 pieces of text , 2 headline

Representations

1) What political party does the Daily Mirror support? Is there any evidence to support this in the CSP pages we have studied?



2) How does the Daily Mirror represent the Post Office in the CSP pages? Why do you think they present them in this way?

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


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

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 target audience for Doctor Who (An Unearthly Child), according to Demographics and Psychographics, would be most likely White British and middle-class (considering the representation in the actual episode consisting only of this), and primarily teenagers. However, since 1963, this has definitely changed - female viewership of Doctor Who has increased, and gendered genres have become more relaxed.     2) What audience pleasures are offered by Doctor Who - An Unearthly Child? Apply Blumler and Katz's Uses and Gratifications theory to the episode. Make sure you provide specific examples from the episode to support your ideas.
