Newspaper analysis- Daily Mirror

-
Daily mirror:
Headline:
The headline is “So what the hell happens now?” Makes people reflect on the issue and question what is going to happen next. Through the use of rhetorical question it prompts the reader to feel worried about what’s next. The use of alliteration emphasises the question being asked. The size of the headline is eye catching for the audience and draws them in making them want to read the article. Stuart halls reception theory could be a good theory to suggest that there is a hidden message in the headline, as it says “so what the hell happens next?” It could be suggested that there is a message that could suggest there is bad things to follow from the departure of the EU and the start of Brexit.
Strapline:
The strapline “Day one of Brexit Britain”, presents Brexit as a bad thing and is biased view as it implies that the daily mirror is against Brexit. The use of alliteration emphasises this. This could involve Stuart Halls reception theory, as this could be interpreted a different way and how it could suggest that the process would be long, however it could be seen as more of a positive thing that it is the first day. Gerbner’s theory could be applied here as it links to the idea that social media can affect the way you see things, for example someone who has not been following the story could read this and have a very one-sided view where as someone who has been following the story could see this and it not affect them. This suggests that the media plays a big part in how people interpret things.
The central image:
The central image creates empathy as the reader views David Cameron’s wife’s facial expression as being concerned for the fate of Britain. This allows the reader the feel empathy for David Cameron. Her facial expression supports the idea that the daily mirror is presenting Brexit as a negative situation.
The jump line:
The jump “inside: full coverage and analysis of the day that shook the word” entices the reader to buy the newspaper and read up on the story. The word “shook” is a hyperbole that suggests that it will make you shake because you are so nervous and implies that the whole of the country is unhappy with the idea of Brexit. This makes people buy the newspaper and follow the story and read on to learn more about it.
Masthead:

The mast head shows that it is their company writing the story and makes it obvious to acknowledge it. This also shows their views as it shows a very one sided story, suggesting that the Daily Mirror has a very one sided opinion on Brexit.

'woman ' magazine- article analysis 'Evelyn Home'

WOMAN' MAGAZINE- EVELYN HOME ARTICLE ANALYSIS In the corner of the screen you can see the phrase "friend and counsellor to those with a personal problem" and this helps give the article a more informal feel, like you've got a trusted and lifelong friend to help you, comfort you, and support you through the troubled times, however there are many times in articles where this is not the case, and in the "Risk of Lost Love" article Evelyn blames the writer of the letter for not being a "warm and loving wife", and constantly berates her for not showing complete subservience to her man. The picture of Evelyn is of a more mature lady, and this is a wise editorial move as if there was a picture of a lady in her mid 20s, no one would take the advice seriously as they would believe that she hasn't been experienced in troubles such as adultery and an over-worked, stressed out housewife. instead, a mature woman offers comfort as she would've had mo...

'Woman' magazine- article analysis 'Are you an A-level beauty?'

-
Analysing magazine: feature article. “Are you an A-level beauty?” Layout:  Headline- The headline of the article is “are you an A level beauty?” at the top going across the double page spread. The use of this rhetorical question intrigues woman of the 1960s how to become this beauty which was an expectation for woman of the 60s to be beautiful in order to attract men with their appearance. Furthermore, the use of the wording “A level beauty” creates the impression that to look beautiful it’s like an award/ qualification suggested from the word “A level”. From this woman of the 60s with little education would have felt empowered from this use of wording an impressed at how their beauty could have such an impressive impression of them.  Overall, using this type of headline would have intrigued woman of the 60s making them seem to be more intelligent and empowered but also be at the same time be fascinated in the impact that beauty can have on people giving them ...
