4) Question 6 paragraph:

Moreover, in Capital we can see how the global nature of the television industry is reflected because of its multiculturalism. Capital is a show which is based on real life events and places, so it uses narrative realism. They have used the nature of global London perhaps less of the global TV industry. This is because Capital is a State-of-the-nation drama largely aimed at British BBC audience who understand cultural references to house prices. However, the fact that it uses an ethnic diverse cast and a narrative it can be seen as reflecting the global nature. This is because it talks about issues such as immigration, class and financial crisis. While entertaining their audience, they are also informing and educating, which completes the BBC's remit -"to entertain, educate and inform". By doing this, audiences are lured into watching the programme.

5) Question 7:

A focus on Media Language-

Moreover, another way Men's Health managed to retain a loyal audience is by using a well established cover page. The front cover uses a powerful central image of Vin Diesel, whom we know is a well established and mainstream actor. He is posing deliberately to show off his physique and strong body image, which relates to the content in Men's Health. The fact that he is in his 40s is significant because it shows how you can still be fit/ look like him at an older age. This enabled Men's Health to retain a loyal audience because they will be inspired by him and also feel challenged by him.  Also, the cover lines on the front page are very masculine as they use words like 'slay' and 'reboot', which emphasises strength and dominance. It comes across as modern and what a man wants to hear. Additionally, they have a lot of cover lines/ info which helped them retain a loyal audience because it shows variety. So they cater for everyone.
