Deconstruct - media language of the text
Representations - within the main story
How does all of this link to the papers ideology (attitudes and beliefs)
To what extent do the elements of media language used is source A and B convey different values, attitudes and beliefs around the world .
In your answer you must -
analyse the ways in which media language has been used in combination in sources A and B to convey values, attitudes and beliefs about the world.
Refer to relevant contexts and academic ideas and arguments in you analysis and draw judgments and conclusions.
Both sources convey the same story in very different ways. Source A is far-right tabloid whilst Source B is a left of centre broadsheet. Both sources present differing sides to the same story, with Source A taking a more defensive stance to the story, while Source B presents a more threatening, attack like stance. They cover a story on Brexit, which is the decision for Britain to leave the EU.
Source A uses the headline 'HANDS OFF OUR ELECTION' which suggests that Theresa May is defending her country and presents the EU as our enemy. The use of the informal language makes Theresa May seem like the 'good guy' and the EU the 'bad guy' which shows the Source is pro Brexit and support Theresa May. The use of font in the headline suggests the Source support the conservatives due to the older style to the font. The 'Hands off' in the headline makes Theresa May seem very strong and powerful and presents her as standing up for Britain.
Source B uses the headline 'May declares war on Brussels' which suggests that Theresa May is threatening Brussels and the EU, this further suggests that she is a tyrant. The main image of the newspaper has Theresa May looking straight at the camera which suggests that she is addressing the reader and that she is a threat to the UK as the Guardian are a labour.
Source A uses a proud picture of Theresa May to show that she is standing up for our country and again coveys the EU as the enemy. This, combined with the headline, paints a very patriotic picture of May and how she is dealing with Brexit.
Source B also has another story shown in the top that talks about the 'Six Brexit traps that will defeat Theresa May' this title contradicts the headline of the newspaper which suggests that the source doesn't support Theresa May. This would suggest that the newspaper support Labour party and explain why they include stories about remaining in the EU and avoiding Brexit.
In conclusion, both sources convey different attitudes towards Theresa May and their beliefs about Brexit whilst sharing the same story. Their beliefs are show through their choice of headlines, the language used and the images used as well as the stories inside the magazines.
