News Exam practice and case study

 Contexts you can be asked about - in q 3

  • Political
  • economic
  • historic
  • cultural
  • social

Q4 - evaluate a theory - 
How useful - in relation to a news form


Case studies - 
Political contexts - DM - right wing - roll of dice makes the return seem exciting - guardian makes the tories seem desperate

Historical context -  papers have become more digitalized - David Cameron - used to be Prime minister - DM - shown to be a savior - veteran who will save their party but guardian make it seem like a last resort - pathetic effort

Social - Both the guardian and DM have an older viewership for the physical papers however digital has younger viewer ship but gets buried under all the digital news shown these days

Cultural - UK is a right wing country - 






















guardian is user funded
Extremely moderated comments - turn comments off for controversial posts
left wing
used yellow as its first color processed by humans













Daily mail has high image to copy ratio

Jenkins - theorist for news - if it doesnt spread its dead
Shirkey - end of audience - no such thing as a passive audience - all participatory 







DM-
  • critical of left wing
  • omitting Boris from story
  • hired him

The Guardian-
  • black and red show guilt
  • showing boris
  • higher image to copy
  • more hard news for secondary story - migrants dying

Social media - hard to find the story as social media is avbout fast and interactive news so the story has alr been buried

Website - 
Guardian - 
  • live rolling news
  • front and center
DM -
  • boring negative news on Meghan Markle
