Daily Mirror case study💕

 Language


1) Write the definition of the following key language for newspaper front pages:

Masthead: 
The masthead lists editorial staff, publisher, subscription details, and contact information.
Pug:
to catch the readers eye, it's placed in the top left and right hand corner; the prices, logo and issue number 
Splash Head: the lead story of the newspaper 
Slogan: catchy phrase that represents the paper
Dateline: the line where the date is 
Kicker: story that entertains the audience 
Byline: says the authors name 
Stand first: introductory paragraph usually in bold 

2) How much does a copy of the Daily Mirror cost?
 5p to 85p

3) What are the main stories on the CSP edition of the Daily Mirror (see above)?
the royal family 

4) Why is the choice of news stories on the Mirror CSP front page typical of a tabloid newspaper?
it makes people intrigued too read it that could potentially be into gossip and drama 

5) What is the balance on the Daily Mirror front page between images, headlines and text?
They purposely put a photo of price harry kissing another female make the newspaper seem like it contains more drama , maybe as if  prince harry is cheating on kate 


Audience

1) What is the target audience for the Daily Mirror?
oldest readership 65+ , 44.5%
least readership 15-24 , 5.7%
people interested in soft news 

2) Why does the Mirror front page story appeal to the Daily Mirror audience?
The front page story is less supportive of the Conservative party, a right-wing party, and is more in favour of left-wing parties like Labour so lower class audiences can more closely relate to the Newspaper as a majority of Struggles are of Left-Wing beliefs. 

3) Why might a reader enjoy the Daily Mirror? Use Blumler & Katz Uses and Gratifications theory to add detail to your answer.
The story about 'Car Park Vultures' is appealing to the Daily Mirror's audience as typically they are more likely to have faced car tickets that they aren't able to pay off since Strugglers have less disposable income. 

4) Why are print newspapers generally read by older audiences?
 It also offers their audience diversion as it has free offers and a large promotion for betting.6BVN
