Broadsheet vs Tabloid

Image result for the sun covers
Tabloid:
Typography is big and bold to grab the readers attention
Main picture covers the whole page, makes the cover look informal
Pun headlines also add to the informal cover
Puns for all captions and headlines link through the topic of pigs
The main image mocks him, making him look bad (adding to our opinions)
There is only one story on the front page
Image result for the guardian covers
Broadsheet:
Typography is small to fit a lot of information in and inform the audience well
The main image is clear but not overpowering, adding formality to the cover
The headline is slightly bigger and bolder, it includes emotional language by using the word 'disgraced'
There is multiple stories on the front page, reinforcing the informative cover

Representaion

Representations are the way in which people, events and ideas are presented to the audience. The media takes something which is already there and re-presents it in the way they choose. They are created by the producers of media texts, what they choose to show to us is controlled by gatekeepers.

Dominant ideology - idea that we are ruled by white middle class, christian, straight men
Stereotypes - media industries use stereotypes because the audience will understand them, this is known as a 'visual shortcut'.
Archetypes - This is the ultimate/extreme stereotype e.g. white stiletto wearing, big busted, brainless, blonde
Counter type - A representation that challenges tradition stereotypical associations of groups, people and places

D - disability - physical and mental
R - regional identity - a stereotypical area e.g. Essex
C - class - posh vs. not / rich vs. poor
A - age - difference in ages, teenagers are 'moody', 'lazy'
G - gender - stereotypical women roles compared to mens e.g. stay at home mother who cooks
E - ethnicity - racist
S - sexuality - Bisexual, gay, lesbian, transvestite e.g. Ru pauls drag race programme
