The Paradise Papers case study
On Monday 6th November, the main headlines covered leaked documents revealing the financial details of the super-rich. It outlined how many were allowed to keep money outside of the UK in order to.
The main visual image is the Queen which is very recognisable to the public,
The price is £2.00 because it is a broadsheet and will contain more information.
The view is left wing and the comments made are negative.
The colour used to represent the story throughout the week was yellow. This is so the viewers of The Guardian know where the story is on the cover. Also the yellow colour compliments the usual blue of the paper.
- The Daily Mail:
Tabloid paper,
There is no main visual image to support the story,
The price is 65p because this a tabloid paper with less information in.
The headline of the story was, 'QUEEN DRAGGED INTO £10M OFFSHORE TAX ROW'. This makes the Queen seem like the victim in this scenario. The verb 'dragged' emphasises the Queen being innocent in the right wing views.
2. Write a paragraph outlining why you think the Guardian created a series of news articles looking at the same issue and how that may reflect the newspapers political ideology and news values.
- The Guardian created a series of news articles using the yellow to indicate to the viewers when and where the story is in the paper. This appeals to viewers as an interest throughout the week and something for the regular readers to look forward to as they are making a big deal out of it. They provide interesting news for people who like the Guardian instead of the gossip news from the Daily Mail.
3. Look at the Mirror. The Daily Telegraph, Daily Express and the Independent online newspaper and consider what you learn about these two publications from their versions of the story and the front page conventions.
The express and the mirror both use the same format as the mail does using capital letters.
We can see that both papers have both used capital letters to attract the audience and as much attention as possible to the headline. Also they have used plugs that interest people into looking further into the paper.
4. Look at the online versions of these stories via Mail Online and The Guardian website. Compare and contrast their coverage. Use the sites to find out as much as you can about the story, so you fully understand it. What other media elements do the two websites provide readers (e.g.: audio or video clips, hyperlinks to other sites or connected stories).
5. Look at social media sites and explain how you think they encourage readers to interact with the story.
