Newspapers: Story 2- Mail Online

1) Title: How can he be the champion when he hasn't beaten THE champion? They're my belts - I never lost them': Tyson Fury taunts Anthony Joshua on This Morning as he claims he's 'only got my leftovers' after vacating his past titles
    Date: 4/03/2020

2) Summary: Tyson Fury taunted heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua for having his 'leftovers'. AJ currently holds the four world titles. Fury vacated amid mental health issues. Fury said the belts still belong to him because he never lost them in the ring. The Gypsy King confirmed he would retire after fighting Joshua for all the titles. He came on Tjhis Morning talkinf baout hhis recent boxing win. 

  • This is an example of soft news- celebrity gossip and sports news.
    •
  • Immediacy, predictability and prominance.
3) Appeal to audience:
  • Personal relationship: he talks about his mental health issues, which is a rising issue a lot of people can relate with.
  • Diversion- sports news is entertaining, almost fuelling the fight.
4) Boxing is a sport that had become a part of British culture so reflects the newspapers ideologies because they want to be inclusive of the nation. I would say that this is mostly click-bait because Mail Online is more focused on hard news, so soft news is just for the purpose to keep them entertained.

Blog task: binary oppositions and ideology

Image
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. Furthermore, another binary opposition in this clip is   immigration vs corruption . Russell mentions how people are worried about the  shortages of resources, taking away jobs, housing, not paying taxes  because of immigrants, but Nigel is the one who is really to blame because politicians are corrupt. One other binary opposition di...

Media Factsheet 76: News Values

1) Conflict: Afghan conflict, US carried out its first air strike in response to the Taliban. Progress: Switzerland voted in favour of LGBTQ+ protection bill shows progress because it shows that the community is becoming widely accepted across the globe. Disaster: The coronavirus! A current global issue which has lead to many deaths. Consequence: London knife crime has increased fear among society. Prominence: Phillip Scofield coming out as gay has caused a lot of controversy. Many people support his decision, while others see it as 'unfaithful'.  Novelty: Kobe Bryant killed in a helicopter crash, along with his daughter and 5 others. 2) The example used in the factsheet is of a British servicewoman who died as a result of an Afghan bomb blast. 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...

Introduction to feminism:Case study- Everyday Sexism

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. ...
