"Discuss the view that news is produced and manufactured as popular entertainment." 'News' has many different meanings by lots of people. It can be interpreted in many ways. We perceive news in the way newspapers and broadcast delivers it across to us. They use special techniques to do this. I believe news is produced and manufactured as popular entertainment. This is what interests readers. The broadsheet and tabloid newspapers have different views and values about the way they present news. News also has to have certain qualities to be called 'newsworthy' and this need to go through several stages of manufacture to get published. News is information the public wants to know. 'Popular entertainment' is stories that are well like by the public. Its true that the more quirky the story, the more the audience will be engaged by it. News is made into entertainment mainly by the tabloids to interest readers, so more people will buy the papers and obviously want to make more money by doing this. When readers want to read the news they want to be interested and entertained. The papers do this very cleverly. The news is developed, altered, changed and bits are added to it to make it more entertaining. Firstly the news is gathered, a stories 'newsworthiness' often depends upon how easily the story can be obtained. If there is no primary definer then the story will probably not be

The events that occurred in Derry on 30 January 1972 became known as "Bloody Sunday".
Question 2: The events that occurred in Derry on 30 January 1972 became known as "Bloody Sunday". Why have these events produced such different historical interpretations? Refer to sources A to C and any other interpretations of the events from your studies to help in your answer. After the British Army was sent into Northern Ireland in 1969, the situation did not improve. Internment was introduced, resulting in an immediate upsurge in violence, including several riots on the streets of Derry. In protest, the Civil Rights Association planned an illegal march for 30 January 1972. At 4:10pm on the day of the march paratroopers opened fire on the people in the area of Rossville flats; when they ceased fire half an hour later, 13 people were dead and a further 14 were injured. These basic facts are agreed upon but whether or not the paratroopers were reacting to being fired upon is the question which remains unanswered. Source A is an article written for the Daily Mail by Paul Eastham on the 17 September 1999. As with most newspaper articles, this article is designed to be informative but also persuasive. As the Mail is a slightly right-wing publication, the journalist expects it's readers to have conservative views so the article is written in favour of the paratroopers to attract the right readership. The majority of the article focuses on the paratroopers disgust
Love Actually
Carina Lewis 10.7 The film trailers are designed to promote the film Love Actually. Explore how they represent a particular view of modern love and relationships. Love Actually is the story of nineteen people whose lives intertwine due to the one thing they have in common: love. It is set in London, in the two months running up to Christmas. The film was released in November 2003, and is a Working Title film, directed by Richard Curtis. It was a huge success at the box office, grossing roughly £25,166,894. Throughout this essay, the two trailers referred to will be the two shown on the DVD, known as Trailer One and Trailer Two. The genre of the film is romantic comedy, a sub-genre of romance, as well as of comedy. This genre is relevant as the film is a Working Title production, which has created some of the most well-known romantic comedy films, such as Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral. The popularity of the romantic comedy film is due to the fact that it appeals to a wide audience: both fans of romance and fans of comedy. The target audience would be young people, usually women, who would enjoy the romantic aspect of the film. Also, it would appeal to young men as the trailers often show women to whom they may be attracted. The purpose of a film trailer is as a promotional tool designed to attract cinemagoers. It is usually played on TV or in cinemas. If
Advert Analysis - Opium Perfume, Cointreau, Longines Watch
Byron Atkinsothis isnt my actual work mum so shutup.im writing it in my book and making it better. English Monday, April 30, 2007 Media Analysis Advert 1:Longines Watch When one comes to analyse an advert such as this,one soon begins to sense a deeper meaning to the first thought meaningless images upon the page.The subtle,black and white background gives the advert a very elegant,chic resemblance.The advert becomes extremely intense and embracing,drawing the audience into the page. The black and white colours and italic font give one the impression that this advert is targeted at a somewhat sophisticated audience.The caption "Elegance is an attitude" implies that elegance is natural and that only these 'gifted' people can release the watches potential powers.There is an image of an elegant lady on the left hal of the page.She is standing in a plain black dress and is wearing no evident make up.She is only wearing one piece of jewellery and that is the watch.This image makes one notice that the watch is the only accesory she needs,the 'icing on the cake',the final ingredient of the divine life.Realising this enables us to discover that the is a larger audience than the upper class members of society. Members of the female society that feel insecure about themselves are also targets of the advert.The product will make them elegant and push the up the social
Phantom Menace advertising Portfolio.
Phantom Menace advertising Portfolio After viewing Broadcasting international's advertisement for 'Typhoo Tea' the team at Phantom Menace advertising have analysed it thoroughly. We enclose some suggestions for improvement, which we hope, will increase the sales of your product. The advert: At present your advert consists of 24 different camera shots based at a variety of different angles, however at least 6 of these shots are the same the only difference between them is the distance in which they are shot. Narrative: The narrative of the advert tells the story of the advert. The story of this advert is that if you drink Typhoo Tea you will be refreshed, happy and full of energy. At present this comes across very clearly in the advert, you have old ladies dancing and workmen not complaining about their work, but we feel we could make this known a bit more in the advert. The music: Throughout the advert the disco classic of 1983 'fresh' by kool and the gang is played. The music is very appropriate for this advert and helps the company emphasise that Typhoo Tea is fresh. It clearly tells you through the music and rhythm that Typhoo Tea is designed to refresh you. The colour scheme: The red and green colour scheme is predominant throughout the advert. The colour scheme originating from the logo. The green representing the colour of the tea leaves and the
The two titles of the two news articles that I am comparing are: 'Sven: Pele inspired Theo selection' and 'Pele: Theo no, Sven.'
Citizenship Coursework The two titles of the two news articles that I am comparing are: 'Sven: Pele inspired Theo selection' and 'Pele: Theo no, Sven.' Both articles appeared on the 04/06/2006. I found the articles on the Internet. The news story is about whether Theo Walcott should go to the World Cup or not. The article made the news because Walcott is the youngest player ever for England and also was picked ahead of another experienced striker and also he is unproven at Premiership level, which caused controversy amongst the England fans. For the 'Sven: Pele inspired Theo selection' was written by Simon Fudge of Sky Sports and 'Pele: Theo no, Sven' was written by a Sun online reporter. Both articles are on a website set out with a big bold headline and the Sun Online report has a photo of Theo Walcott on the right hand side. Theo Walcott is a up and coming who was controversially picked for the England national football team even though he hasn't played in the Premiership and he is only one of four strikers taken so expectation is heavily weighed onto his shoulders to perform if picked. The public would be interested in this story because he could be vital to England's hopes of winning the World Cup. Both articles have a fairly big headline, which are making statements. Both articles are opinionated to whether he (Theo) should go to the World Cup. These are both a
Compare the representation of ethnicity in a range of popular mainstream TV programmes or soap operas.
Unsa Akhtar Media Coursework Compare the representation of ethnicity in a range of popular mainstream TV programmes or soap operas. Soap opera was a phrase that people used in the 1930s in USA. It was to describe radio series. The opera came from the fact that they were about dilemmas and real life situations that people have on a daily basis. As the radio series popularity grew, they became televised in the 1950s. Soon it was spread around the world and it grew and grew so more people of different ethnic backgrounds had to be introduced to the soaps. Coronation Street is the longest running TV soap in the world. After the successes of Dallas (among others) in America, soap started to suddenly became more popular in the '80s. This caused the beginning of new British soaps such as Brookside and EastEnders. Also, the success of Australian soaps like Neighbours and Home and Away caused British soaps to reconsider their target audience and therefore, their characters. Programmes now portray multi-racial communities to represent the different races in society. In soaps, producers try not to stereotype other ethnic minorities so as not to cause offence to their multi-racial viewers. The number of ethnic minorities is increasing so this could be their way of helping them integrate within the community. The soaps try not to make all of their multi-racial characters members of the
How eating disorders affect models & celebrity's.
Media Essay-How eating disorders affect models & celebrity's. By Faustina silk Introduction: Young teenage girls who I believe to be the main target group are constantly being exposed to images of slim celebrities on television and reading paragraphs of their private lives printed in newspapers. And models that are either anorexic or excessively thin appearing in latest fashion items in teenage girls magazines. This also occurs with pop stars as teenage girls are interested in music and would look up to models, celebrities and pop stars and want to be like them. They may want to wear the same modern fashion that fits only small figured girls, want to start modeling and pop stars are also used to help to advertise music with their excessively slim figures. I think it is a matter of opinion whether you think you are `fat' but obviously anorexic people believe they are fat when in fact they are extremely thin. Body proportions & body shape are often considered to be the latest fashion. However it is becoming more acceptable for women & young girls to have a more plumper figure, and are thought to be more attractive, according to recent newspaper cuttings and magazine articles, which picture thin celebrities, singers and models such as Jodie kidd, Ally mcbeal, calista flockhart, Cameron, celine dion & kate moss. People also believe Courtney cox Arquette and

Compare and contrast Advertisement For the Walkers crisps with the advertisement for the McDonald restaurants! Both advertisements are popular food products. McDonalds are very famous all over the world; the company is based in America and started off there. Walker's crisps are a British company. When you hear the name Walkers, you often think of walkers crisps. Both of these companies sell there products to a range of people. The younger people generally more of these products than older people. In the McDonald advert, they are trying to tell the audience that their restaurant isn't just for teenagers, but for all ages. They have shown this through the characters in the advert. They also are trying to promote that McDonalds is a class less place where you can go to eat, they show this by using different people with different colours of skin and showing costumes of builders, school kids, actors and etc. the people also do not speak to one another. The only signal to each other is when the man and woman look at each other and nod as if they are approving of the food they have been served. The people look happy and are moving briskly away to the sound track. The clothes that people where show the occupation that they are involved in. The walkers advertisement however is a lot more relaxed and humorous. The first scene starts off with a group of children. The scene is also
