byline: tells us who's written it
standfirst: the bit in bold on the first paragraph (like bullet points)
sidebar: bar going down the side of the paper
online functionality: hyperlinks, embedded multimedia
online layout: margins, headers, footers, navigation bars etc.
mode of address: formal or informal depending on if its popular or quality.
THEORIES
barthes:signifier and signified, denotation and connotations, anchorage and myth.
todorov: classic linear structure- most stories have beginning, middle and end - there's a narrative.
Strauss: binary oppositions - good vs bad (i.e. theresa may)
baudrillard: hyperreality and simulacra (fake news?) versions of reality
Neale: genre as repetition and a shared code that changes over time, i.e. the thought that she shouldn't wear a bikini because she's too 'fat'.
ANALYSE DAILY MAIL COVER
Layout/conventions: The masthead is in a conventional space, at the top of the page, the masthead is not the same as the online version because on print it says 'daily mail' but online it says 'mail online' . There is no sidebar but the images used don't take a lot of space, the space is more used for the headline.
language: is informal as it uses words like 'thug' and 'selfie' because its a popular newspaper rather than a quality one.
colours: are plain and simple, black and red to allow the focus to go to the story more.
use of Strauss, good vs bad, the good being the victim a young white girl who was murdered and then bad being the young black teen who got let off twice for stabbings.
things to talk about:
-a young man who has avoided jail time after being found with knives and drugs for a second time.
(daily mail dont think its okay and we know this by) the use of the word "smirking" which is anchored by image.
We dont KNOW that hes smirking, taking a selfie or even at court in the image taken. (image anchors the text and the way its presented gives us a specific side of the story)
"soft justice britain" means were weak and should be tougher on crime.
Strauss binary theory - using a victim of knife crime story and the story of the offender (bad vs good)
racial stereotyping - jodie is the white female victim / black male offender "thug". Large headline makes it more important than him- using him to represent people involved in knife crime. Masthead has a vintage style - the logo represents britishness. Byline- 3 journalists which means its very important.
ONLINE: embedded multi media (family of stab victim at the site of her stabbing) to make audience sympathise. Visually busy - loads of images, good clickbait.
NEWS VALUES
frequency - does the story unfold often
threshold - how big the event is (i.e. new zealand terror attacks)
proximity - how close to home it is (also cultural / otherness - non white being portrayed) news doesn't favour non white people, africa is closer than australia but a story from australia is more likely to get aired because they're white.
narrative- good/bad beginning/ end
composition- layout, balancing elements
personalisation- creating characters
negativity- the more negative it is, the more likely it is to be featured.

shamima cover -
- reinforces negative stereotypes of muslim women ( gilroys "otherness")
using bold large red text to connote danger. shes smirking and it looks like she doesnt care. wearing burqa - suggesting she still has links to radical islamism. using image of her running away suggests binary opposition.
New zealand cover-
-picture of 'angelic boy' makes him look like a victim, a typical angelic boy is used as a shock tactic.
