representation on the front pages


1. Who is being represented in the image?
The image on the front cover shows a black male assumably from a lower-class back round, wearing a stereotypical chav track suit.
2. Is this a stereotype?
This is a very big stereotype of a chav stye look. There is a large negative view on chavs in regards to crime and this feeds to this stereotype
3.How is thus stereotype being represented?
The photo shows a person in front of a blazing car showing power aggression and evil.
The person is very mysterious as he is covered up in cloths creating a mystery in regards to his idetifcation.
4. The text is used to show how drastic the riots have gotten. The very large text really emphasise the anarchy that is going on in London. There is also a smaller text above that in red which could represent blood.
5. This type of report fits in well with the codes and conventions of the sun tabloid. The large title and aggressive photo would not be found on a paper such as the economist for example.


1. on the front cover rebekah vardy and a murder story have been shown. this offers a wide range of hard and soft news.
2. The picture of the rebekah vardy is stereotypical of a footballers wife being that there is a modelling pose and style picture the cover. As for the murder report it is also stereotypical as there is a large font screaming murder to catch your eye and attention.
3. Rebeka Vardy is being represented to be pretty and glamours like most footballer wives which could potentially be perceived as sexist. The murder case is presented with the victims together and a mug shot of the murderer. Both very stereotypical paper lay out.
4. The Vardy story is at the top next to the title sort of like bait for people who see the model and then see the paper name and potential remember the paper and buy it again. The main sooty is then blew that with a large black font again as a eye catching trap.
5. This dose fit with the code and conventions of the daily mirror tabloid. e.g Large fonts, Colloquial language and large pictures.


Daily Mirror
1. The person being represented in this photo is very much like the daily mirror in that there is an equal balance between soft and hard news. The hard news is being represented by a murderer and the sift ones by Prince Harry ex girlfriend.
2. The murderer isn't very stereotypical as they aren't very frequent however the photo of harrys ex is one of a fashion walk or red carpet you present her as very glamorous.
4. the text used here is large and bold designed to stick out for the bellfield article. As well as theft news of Harrys ex there is a large text box over her body drawing the readers attention further that article or paper as a whole.
5. This cover fits in with the code and conventions of the sun. The two soft news article and one hard news article represent the type of people who read the paper as they usually prefer softer articles.
