Vocab used is symbol, often containing alliteration and puns
Certain words stand out when placed next to each other and give different view points to the article
Sentences are short with standar vocab
Sentence structured to show only one side
Language is very exaggerated and emotive
Langage and style reflect bias of paper
Target audience:
Middle class (the language)
Any race/religion (no mention of racist views)
Male'Female (articles on fashion and current afairs)
Average person that works on a "9-5"
Youngsters (article on drug users)
Audience is expected to believe what is told to them.
The play on the words and images makes the audience see what the story is about but won't make them see another side to the story being told. The image of Victoria Beckham is urely for gossip-females, and her in a revealing piec of clothing attracts males.
The audeice will read the text passively in their free time, on their breaks etc, its just to entertain and inform them on the story.
Rupert Murdoch indoctrinates his ideolgies onto reader - hw oens the paper.
