Differences between Tabloid and Broadsheet


























The initial difference between the group D 'The Sun' Tabloid and the group A 'The Daily Telegraph' Broadsheet is the size and layout of the paper. It is obvious that the two newspapers strive to meet to different audience expectations, traditionally a Tabloid features a larger main headline (possibly with ellipsis) with multiple visual images and a little amount of copy unlike the Broadsheet which contains a much smaller main headline, possibly a few other headlines, and a mass of copy. In addition to this, Tabloids are expected to focus on 'soft news' including sensationalist language and celebrity lives unlike Broadsheets which centre on 'hard news' covering economics and politics appealing to a different demographic group. As you read both front pages the Tabloid mode of address is informal and colloquial with dumbed down language to appeal to a larger audience, whereas the Broadsheet mode of address is formal and standard English engaging a totally different audience.

Using stereotypes to create meaning for audiences

Image
The Daily Mirror depicts Theresa May in a negative light persuading people to vote Labour instead of Tory showing their left wing ideology. This is evident through the very large image emphasising her unattractive side, showing her to be almost like a crook, someone who can not be trusted. The words "lies, damned lies and Theresa May" reiterates this, linking to the well-known phrase "lies, damned lies and statistics". The phrase means that there are 3 types of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics, and so, by stating "lies, damned lies and Theresa May" they are calling Theresa a liar. The Daily Mirror then continues stating "don't condemn Britain to five more years of Tory broken promises". By using the verb "condemn", it gives the impression of punishing Britain to more Tory years.

Research Task - Dance Music

Dance Music What makes all of these music videos from the dance music genre? The main thing that makes all of these videos part of the dance music genre is that the music is dynamically produced so it is natural and easy to dance to, even if it is the smallest move. Furthermore, this is emphasised in the videos as they all have people dancing in them encouraging people to do the same. Most dance genre music videos also use very simple dance moves so the audience can do the same moves. In addition to this the videos are full of bright colours and bright clothing, as well as recognisable brands.  Explore how the artists are using representation to appeal to their target audience in these three videos by picking out key frames from the video to analyse. All three videos are based around teenagers of all diversities doing something which everyone does - dance. This then appeals to their target audience as its the exact same people used in the videos. The videos are all set in
