"Val Thomas has insisted that there should be a follow up tournament to the inaugural Netball against Breast Cancer Weekend, which took place this month."
"Thomas said when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004"
Sports helped her
4) How or why this story appeals to an audience:
Personal identity-breast cancer is a global issue so many people would want to be active.
Personal relationships- creates a bond
Surveillance- teaches people how breast cancer affects people.
5) This reflects the values and ideologies of The Voice as they are talking about a black persons life so relates with its ethos.
I wouldn't say this is quality journalism because it is quite amateur and may be written to gain attention (clickbait) and the fact it says "To read the rest of this article, purchase your copy of The Voice Newspaper.". However, it isn't clickbait as it is raising awareness about the disease.
1) One example of binary opposition I can suggest from watching this clip is immigrants vs British people . This is clearly illustrated as Nigel argues the point about overcrowding as a result of immigration and the general quality of life has gone down. Another binary opposition suggested from this clip is rich vs poor . This is seen when Nigel makes the point about the upper classes being at a disadvantage because of overcrowding, but Russell makes the point about how money is not being distributed in an equal way and that the poor are also at a disadvantage because of this.

This is an appropriate example to gain prominent coverage because it reflects various news values. The fact that she is British relates to familiarity because the British army is apart of out culture. 3) Gateke...
1) Laura Bates started the Everyday Sexism project because she realised that it was a recurring issue in her and almost every other women's life. Until speaking out about her experiences with others about the sexual harassment she gets, Laura thought it was normal due to everyone shutting her down and saying that women are equal now. However, she researched and found information that contrasts with the statement of 'women being equal' and decided to make website which enables people, men and women, from around the world to share their experiences. 2) The project links to the concept of post-feminism because it unveils the different forms of sexual harassment women get on a daily basis and how they experience this during a normal days routine, e.g. at their workplace or on their way home. In Western societies things are still developing and they still live in patriarchy. ...
