Newspapers Online Case Study

Starter:

'The representations featured in the online Observer reflect its values and beliefs.' Discuss how far you agree with this statement in relation to the Online Observer homepage.

The Observer and the online Observer are Newspaper who sit towards the left of the political world as a result concern themselves with those values and beliefs. These values are shared by its sister paper The Guardian, which is also owned by The Guardian Media Group.

The choice of colour of each Newspaper reflect its political view and by being the same colour it shows that they both have the same political views and beliefs. The website is said to have an 'international' feel to it, with features discussing India, France, America and Japanese cuisine. These types of articles reflect the online observer's interest in internationalism and how it values other cultures and people. Another example would be an article on Jordan Peele which discusses Americas racial problems. The Observer is known for discussing difficult issues head on such as this. In this image of The Guardian (shown above) there are mainly stories about politics which shows the mature political side to The Observer.  

The Observer contains a balance of different features and it is clear that it values culture as equally important as the politics. The Observer covers reviews on expensive returns as well as photography which suggests a wealthier audience to the observer with them encouraging them to spend money on luxury items. The somewhat 'middle class' feel that The Observer provides hard news as well as articles like reviews.

Film Unit - Lesson 15

Lights! Camera! Action! Learning Objective: - to develop an effective film marketing strategy  Movie Marketing; Release date - January 2021 gives time.  Case Study: Genre - action, spy. People who like action, adventure movies so therefore uses guns and mystery. Dark colour, reflections the confusion of the film. Like a different universe.
