Daily Mirror language and representation

-

 Language


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 of the newspaper 

Pug: Something to catch the readers eye 

Splash Head: The lead story 

Slogan: Sums up the ethos on a newspaper 

Dateline: Date on the newspaper 

Byline: Name of the journalist 

Standfirst: Intro 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 Fujitsu scandal  

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

The CEO of the company 

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

More informal and less pictures with news more about celebrity gossip 

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

They keep the picture to keep a gossip tone with that paper 


Representations


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

Left wing the labour party, they were talking about the 'torries' 

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

They mainly showed them as victims from Fujitsu 

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.

They represented them as the villains that hurt innocent people.  

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

That they are unreliable and hey are paying off big co-operations to not talk about them
