Newspaper analysis
The Daily Mirror- 19th September 2019
Language
What examples of language stand out?
Aggressive language- 'Killer', 'Confession', 'Victims'.
Killer described as a 'beast' - dehumanising the killer, making him appear more scary and dangerous.
Informal language - 'Boris' shows the informality of the newspaper.
Content
What is included or missed out of the story?
Main story is of a Murder - victims shown, names given, 'more' suggests that there were others not shown. Advertising of the program within the story.
Smaller story of Ant and Dec making a joke about Piers joining the jungle.
Another story - Man complaining about healthcare to Boris.
The use of the program 'Confessions' in The Daily Mirror shows the target audience to be a lower demographic and more into crime dramas then the audience reading The Daily Telegraph - who would perhaps watch something like 'Downton Abbey', which is advertised on the front page of The Daily Telegraph.
Style
Is the article chatty or formal? Serious or funny? How long are the sentences?
Non formal.
Some of the stories are funny however the murder case is more serious.
Short sentences to catch the reader.
Values and Attitudes
Is there any bias?
Unexpectedness
Elite Nations/People - Ant and Dec story with the inclusion of Piers Morgan 'lets get piers in the jungle...'
Photographs
Which shots have been chosen and why? How have they been edited?
Regular photograph of the killers face denotes he is a regular person.
If you read on, to page 4-5, the second picture used of the killer is more sinister.
Headlines
What kind of headline is it? What techniques are used?
Using the TV program 'Confessions' in the title next to 'killer'. If the person reading this hasn't seen the program they may not get the joke or pun or what they are meaning and it may not make sense to them until they read on.
