The observer- A study of contempory front covers.

Kavanah

- that people judge on peoples appearance before they know the true story. 



  • They all have a main image that will be featured in the newspaper. 
  • They have the main masthead of the observer in bold to stand out.
  • There is the main news headline in large writing.
  • How the same fonts and same sizes. all serif font writing connoting to the formal newspaper.
  • All have a main article.
  • All have alliteration, engaging the reader making it memorable.
  • Advertising. is in bright colours
The Observers House Style.
























         1)
  •   In the feb one they show multicultural at the top in the advertisement they show a women who is of a different culture showing representation not just while people.  
  • Also has different cultures of foods.showing the multicultural society.
  • In the march one there are women who play are male dominated sport. 
  • Also the team has different cultures showing diversity that all diversities can be winners.
     2) 
  • In the march one it shows how football isn't just for men and women can succeed as-well. The feb one only has women  which shows how men aren't powering society but now women can be the main front page.
  • All women football team none of them are sexualised so are actually wanted to see on the front cover.
  • Pamela Anderson isn't sexualised at all but is seen for her natural beauty, so is purely authentic.
3) 
  • the adverts at the top are aimed at middle class society suggesting the target audience who would make these recipes and listen to these books.
  • The observer reflects very central neutral views, the selection of the women's football team goes with the progressive nature of todays society and they challenge the male dominated sport and they all very multicultural so suggesting a lot of diversity. 
  • The advertisements of the foods, books and science podcasts typically appeal to the middle class audience.
4)


  • The positive representation is empowering women who don't fit the social normality of society. 
  • "crude sexist"- connotes how they are defending women who don't want to always have children and want to live a bit more. It strongly supports the feminist approach how not all women need to have children and just look after them all their life.

Newspaper Ownership

  Explain two ways newspapers are funded. (4) One way newspapers are funded is through advertisements. This is because brands can advertise their products which can give money to the newspaper. Another way is through subscriptions. This is because the audiences can pay money to them by reading more of the news.  Ownership: Newspapers are not usually profitable but instead seen as a means of gaining social and political influence. As a result, they are often owned by rich individuals rather than a conglomerate.  How much control do owners have: Owners are not expected to interfere obviously with their newspapers.
