Newspaper Analysis

 On the day that David Cameron resigned and Brexit began. The front of the Daily Mirror, a very right wing newspaper, contains a photo of David Cameron and his wife. Cameron is not in focus, perhaps suggesting that he is irrelevant. However his wife Samantha Cameron is in focus and is looking concerned. The focus is perhaps on her to represent us as an audience who are feeling the same way her face suggests. The main headline 'So what the hell happens now?' is very eye catching and is perhaps a question that we as an audience are also asking. This is a typical question to ask for a right wing newspaper. The newspaper's headlines are also very personal, 'find out what leaving Europe actually means for you and your family' is compelling as it appeals to a wide audience.




  The same theme is also addressed in the Guardian, a very left wing newspaper. On the cover, two thirds of the sheet is taken up with another Brexit issue. In the centre of this section is what looks to be a staged photograph of people reacting to the news. This is eye catching to the audience as it instantly draws there attention as it makes it seem as if there is some shocking news inside. To the left of the photo there are smaller headlines which are equally as eye catching such as 'pound plunders by 9% to lowest level since 1985.' Above the picture the headline 'Cameron faces fight for survival as Britain sets course for Brexit' suggest two things about David Cameron. 'Cameron faces fight for survival' suggests that Cameron is facing a leadership election or that his party and the country are doubting his ability to successfully keep the country in Europe.





Newspapers in Britain still have a certain trend which date back right back to when they first began. Newspapers have often been created for certain audience: upper class, middle class and lower class. Because of the education system 100 years ago, those in the lower class were much more uneducated than those in the middle and upper classes, so the newspapers are created with less text and more images. An example of this is 'The Daily Mirror' at the top of the post. The following page in the hyperlink bellow differentiates each newspaper to their audience and there political status.
