Q2. Who is their audience?
Q3. Ideologies and values of the newspaper?
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH:
A1. The stories that have made the Telegraph newspaper, the sex scandal story for example, supports the news value of continuity as it is currently an ongoing story that the telegraph has used to continue the audience's interest and follow on from previous stories , furthermore it also uses the news value of elite persons as it is based on political ministers who are well known and have reputations. Additionally, the telegraph also uses this value of elite persons by choosing to use a picture of Donald Trump and his wife on the front page who is a famous controversial character which is unambiguous to the audience and therefore they expect negativity. Other stories that have a minor feature on the front cover is the Queen scandal which also plays on the news value of elite persons and unexpectedness as the queen is a famous and highly thought of individual, this story suggests otherwise and creates major shock value and therefore also makes us think of the news value proximity as it has a big impact on the audience as well. The proximity news value in this is also much like the other story featured which is about home schooled children falling into the hands of terrorists which also generates shock and uses the value of personalisation as children are involved which makes the reader feel very emotional and sympathetic.
A2. The telegraph is a broadsheet newspaper that attracts the A, B and C1 demographics who are more well educated and professional members of the public, which explains the formal and sophisticated language and layout. A3.
THE SUN:
A1. The stories that have made it on to the front page of The Sun, such as the Strictly Come Dancing vote off, supports the news value of unexpectedness because all of the Strictly fans would have never suspected Aston Merrigold who was supposedly the favourite to be kicked off the show. It is also using the news value of elite persons because Aston is a reasonably well known celebrity which makes people more interested in the story as it could contain some gossip. The other main story shown is a porn scandal with a PM with extreme porn allegedly found on his computer. This touches up on the news value of elite persons because he is a very important man involved in Parliament. It also supports the news value of proximity and continuity because it is based in the capital city of the country in which the paper is produced and stories involved with sex have been circulating in many newspapers in many countries for the last few weeks. At the side of the main stories, there are two additional and minor articles, one about the football scores and one about rewarding the people that read the Sun.
A2. The Sun is a tabloid newspaper that attracts the people from the C2, D and E demographics. These people are not as educated and are possibly unemployed which would explain the simple language and headlines and the gossip involved in it.
