Newspapers: statement paragraph

-


Statement:

‘No online news sources are entirely trustworthy’

I somewhat agree to this statement. The reason I agree with this statement is because all news sources to a degree are subjective, meaning that the content they publish is biased to a certain extent. This is done as they have different target audiences. For example a right wing newspaper may publish more conservative views, whereas a left wing newspaper will publish liberal views. Therefore, it can be argued that no online news sources are entirely trustworthy because in the end it all comes down to what the consumer wants to read or expects to read. Another reason why I somewhat agree to this statement is because in the ‘modern world’ there has been an increase in use of new/digital media, therefore people are more vulnerable to hearing such fake news (the increase means that people will start to believe what they read as they become more dependable and reliable on new/digital media. Also, the internet has no boundaries to what it can and can’t publish, so their content could be unreliable.

1) Media Language (e.g. conventions, narrative, genre etc.) The colours they have used are traditional/stereotypical to males- black and blue. Also, the colours are bold, dominant and strong , so this parallels with how males are meant to be. Reinforces traditional gender roles. The cover lines are in capitals and the font is bold . This reflects how the magazine is aimed towards men, because the typography indicates macho and heavy . They have underlined words for emphasis, this communicates power, strengths and authority .

Maybelline 'That Boss Life' case study and wider reading

'That Boss Life' close textual analysis 1) Narrative & genre: narrative theory and sub-genre In regards with Propps theory we can see how there are two heroes and a princess . The two heroes would be Manny and Shayla, the princess would be the girl in the cab. When applying the mascara on the princess we can see how she is 'saved' by having a make over transformation . Additionally, there are action and enigma codes . The enigma would be the questions regarding the suitcase.- what's in the suitcase? 2 ) Cinematography: camera shots and movement In terms of camera shots there are many. There are lots of extreme close ups on the eye, so it shows what the mascara does, fetishisation. There are mid shots of the before and after of the transformation. There are establishing shots of the skyline, iconographic, NYC is an aspirational place. The movements are also significant. There is a tracking in shot to the suitcase. this adds to the pace. 3
