Newspaper

-

Firstly the mast head reads the name of the newspaper being ' The Daily Mirror', which connotes the idea of shining a light on society and looking at the reflection of ourselves much like a mirror.   The Daily Mirror's mast head's font is sans serif which is a gentle font which is condescending with the idea of a disaster. Although the font seems calm the idea of it being huge and bold creates the idea of importance of the event. Having a picture of the fans in the background of the newspaper shows a connect with the fans and tries to appeal to the victims of the disaster. The tag line 'JUSTICE FOR THE 96', also shows the papers' support of the victims of the incident. Other newspapers such as the sun sealed with the idea of it was the fans fault. This addition of the Mirror tries to appeal to the fans. The front page also has a small section from an article written in the paper. The small section on the front promotes justice and also the phrase 'owed the truth' or 'give us the truth' is repeated throughout the front cover. The Mirror is a left wing newspaper and the headline 'justice for the 96' promotes this fact. The idea of justice and for the people is a very left wing view and the fact of equality is clearly shown in this front cover.

Representation in the media

-
There are many different types of groups that are represented in the media, usually these groups are represented in some very stereotypical ways. An example of these groups are immigrants, women, teenagers and elderly people. In the media women are usually over sexualised and viewed as objects rather than people. Examples of this is the countless number of pictures of half-naked women in magazines and newspapers. Women are usually over sexualised to appeal to the male target audience with little regards to the women who pose for these photoshoots. Although men can be over sexualised in music videos and magazines, mostly it is more balanced towards non-sexualised pictures. Even when a company is advertising something they usually use half naked women as ‘eye candy’ to advertise a product or service. Many representations of women concentrate only on sexuality and emotions, usually also focusing on a relationship with their children or a romantic partner. In many fairy washing up liq

Cross Platform Advertising

In this essay I will be discussing what cross platform advertising is, the history of it and how it effects a company. Cross platform advertising is advertising in all forms of media. Many companies and buisnesses want their products to reach many people using different forms of media. An example of this is social media and website advertising. Using pop up ads on youtube videos and websites , a company can have more exposure on a certain product or service. Advertising on all forms of media will attract a much larger audience also. Rather than just advertising on Tv or print, which has been on the decline for a long time, advertising on many forms of media makes it so more people will see the ads and there is more likely to be higher sales. An example of cross platform advertising would be when a company shows an ad not just on one form of media but shows the same or similar ads on social media or in print also. A good example of these types of ads are the betfair ads. As well
