Newspaper covers

The Daily Mail masthead is a more “traditional” font. This aligns with the right wing views of the paper as the right wing is considered to be more traditional. The cot of arms that is between the wording also conveys that it is a more traditional paper as a coat of arms is usually something associated with the upperclass who typically would have the more right wing traditional views. The main headline “Brexit Britains Booming” is a use of alliteration a language technique that many newspapers will use. It can make it more eye-catching for a reader so they are more likely to pick it up and buy it. The way that the papers also talk about brexit also shows its ideologies. The paper doesn’t talk about the papers in a bad way therefore more aligning with the conservatives and right wing parties since they are the ones who support brexit and the leave.

The daily Mirror shows a clear left wing ideologies with the picture of Theresa May, conservative leader, looking down and upset along with the headline “Help me, Jeremy” who is the labour leader. Along with the strap line “Desperate Mays plea to Crobyn for joint approach as she delays EU exit” This shows the papers clear preference to Corbyn and the Labour Party. The page also contains a stand first to this story again repeating Desperate which is all capitalised to make this seem more important. The paper includes an exclusive story. By advertising this story as exclusive will entice readers to pick it up as it gives the impression that no other papers will have this story hence making it exclusive and having the title “undercover hero saved MP from Nazi assassin” the Nazis everyone knowing from history being the extreme right wing party from Germany that was the cause of WW2. With Nazis still existing may also entice the reader and brings attention to the story. The front cover also includes a small story in the corner about celebrity news, showing it is still a tabloid paper with celebrity gossip. This page doesn’t include any adverts like front pages tend to, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing as it draws much more attention to the stories at hand rather than relying on adverts for the audience to pick up and buy the news paper.

The Guardian, a supposed left wing paper, uses the headline “I didn’t criticise PM. That is fake news, says Trump” this story doesn’t seem to be in favour of anything particularly political but since it is covering how trump didn’t criticise the PM may be seen as more right wing leaning. The main image of the page seems to go along with this idea of Trump and May being friendly with one another as they are walking alongside one another with Trump holding Mays arm. This paper includes a “Free World Cup souvenir magazine” and “award winning food magazine” with newspapers including adverts as such it entices the audience to pick up the papers and by them as it included little freebies that can also bring in a wider audience. On this cover for example even though the front page is about politics, by including the freebie for a World Cup magazine will entice football fans to buy the paper for the magazine rather than the paper itself. They may not read the paper but it adds sales for the paper itself either way.
