Paradise papers

The main differences between the guardian site and the daily mail site are that in the guardian they clearly went into this in more detail and they exploited the queen making her look bad and this type of news stories would be a favorite to the guardian and clearly the guardian have written more about this than the mail. the mail have defended the queen using keywords in the titles like dragged, we all have our own opinions and the mail have decided to defend the innocent in their point of view while the guardian accuses the queen of tax fraud. The guardian could have looked at this issue a number of times because the want to exploit the rich as previously mentioned, the guardian has used the same color set pointing out the key points in this scandal in an attempt to expose the queen and the other rich people making the rich look bad in this capitalist country. The mirror and the telegraph have also gone into detail about the scandal about the queens offshore money scandal and both

Ownership and regulation

Newspaper owners The daily mail= the daily mail and general trust Guardian= Scott trust limited sun=  Rupert Murdoch 's  News Corp mirror=  Trinity Mirror telegraph= Press holdings and holyrood holdings limited times= News UK Regional newspaper owners Leicester mercury= trinity mirror Harborough mail= northamptonshire newspapers the trinity mirror is the largest national and regional newspaper publisher in the uk with papers such as the mirror and the Leicester mercury and many more.  dmg media also own the metro which you often find on buses, looks like there is competition between DMG media and trinity mirror Rupert  Murdoch is a successful man with the owning of the sun newspaper. he also is co chairman of TV channel Fox which is known for shows like family guy and american dad. he has clearly taken a lot of risks in his life to be where he is now and clearly in this situation that risks equals rewards. ownership is something that we could be concerned about a

paywalls some online news companies use paywalls to almost make the reader pay a subscription fee so that they can access the news, the times and the Sunday times does this and they include deals to try to tempt the reader to paying the subscription. you have the option to register to get two articles a week of your choice, this is free as you only have to log in and the subscribe option which allows you to view the full news content of this website. not many others use a pay wall but they do use ads. two main ones are the daily mail and the guardian, both use ads to promote products from other source these ads allow a different for online news sites to gain money and it also benefits the sites where the ads come from, we see this on many online news sites because it is an easy way for them to gain profits. many online sites also use social media to try to lure them to read their stories on both the print copy and the online version of the specific newspaper. here are

ABBA Big issue

Why has the big issue used ABBA in their issue about the European union referendum. The big issue has done lots of stories on hard news and soft news and this could show that hard news and soft news have been merged together to try to lure different personalities in to buy a copy of the big issue. clearly they have used abba, we can see this in the choice of clothing, it looks like they have photoshoped sturgeon,Cameron,Johnson and farages head onto abba so it looks like the leaders of their respective parties. we also see this in the title the winner takes it all and this is one of Abbas songs that they released in 1980, could the big issue be trying to lure the older generation into buying the issue. the title also links with the referendum as the beneficial person of the referendum which we great Britain voted to leave will take power and will take all of Britain, this is not the case for any of these people although Johnson and farage did want to leave and this was the case, th

The Big Issue

Morrissey is a well known artist especially to those of the older generation, here the organisation of the big issue want to target the older generation so have included an artist from the 80s to the present in an attempt to get more sales. here they use clever writing to make the big issue more eye catching and the use of morrissey in yellow makes the title stand out just a bit more so the walking public can tell who this issue of the big issue is about. lots of writing have been used around the picture of morrissey which we will talk more about later have been used to almost describe him in a series of one worded sentences some of which are bigger and bolder which could show what morrissey was like, his ego and his wildness. even small pictures have been used in an attempt to describe the artist and to make the front cover of this edition of the big issue more attractive and more eye catching and these have been blended in with the words all around the picture of morrissey. in modern
