 Blog tasks: Daily Mirror case study



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 newspaper 
Pug: Something to catch the eye of a reader 
Splash Head: The lead story
Slogan: Sums up ethos of newspaper
Dateline: Date newspaper was published
Kicker: Story at top of paper to draw interest in content 
Byline: The name of journalist/writer 
Standfirst: Introduction paragraph usually in bold

2) How much does a copy of the Daily Mirror cost? (Note: the current cost is different to the CSP edition - we recommend learning both).
           55p

3) What are the main stories on the CSP edition of the Daily Mirror (see above)? Make sure you learn the headline and what the stories are about.
   There is hard news and soft news. the soft news is about football and a show on Britain pride. However on hard news it's about climate change and Boris Johnson.

4) Why is the choice of news stories and content on the Mirror CSP front page typical of a tabloid newspaper?
     This is so the writer can catch the readers eye.
5) What is the balance on the Daily Mirror front page between images, headlines and text ?
 On the top fart its soft news just entertainment for an example football and pride of Britain. Then  at the bottom of the newspaper there is the hard news just serious news for as example about climate change and Boris Johnson (government) speech.
  


Representations


1) What political party does the Daily Mirror support? Is there any evidence to support this in the CSP pages we have studied?
    
2) How does the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards represent ordinary British people?

3) How is climate change as an issue represented in the Daily Mirror? What evidence can you provide from the CSP pages to support this? 
     It is a hard hitting news as its non verbal and serious content. Readers may have felt emotional as reading.

4) How are environmental protesters like Greta Thunberg represented in the Daily Mirror? Look at the inside pages to answer this.
  She gives speeches about climate change. They are presented as powerful and in a positive way because she is helping the future. She was in the magazine with the world prime ministers.  

5) How are different countries and political leaders represented in the Daily Mirror? Does this reinforce or subvert the stereotypes we usually see in the media?
