Newspapers: Daily Mirror - Representation and Industry

 Representation

2) How does the Daily Mirror usually represent rich and powerful people?
They usually represent them as being powerful as they have money to do things and what ever they have done shows their success and how it has helped them

3) How are celebrities usually presented in tabloid newspapers like the Daily Mirror? Look at the 'New Bond stars are revealed' story on the front page of the Daily Mirror.
Celebrities are shown to be praised for being in a movie that has a well known series of their films

4) How are the royal family presented in the double-page spread 'Kate told Harry to make peace... then they all met up for tea'? 
The royal family are shown to have the most superior and most important role as they take up two whole pages in the paper, and anything that happens seems to be dramatised is shown and is made up in a way where they make it seem like a slogan

5) Why do you think the Daily Mirror represents the royal family as a 'normal' family? Why might this appeal to Daily Mirror readers?
Yes as if you read their paper them then they show that they use some sort of colloquial language and how make the name William "wills" so it shows some sort of casual life style some where in the family. 

Industries

2) What is the Daily Mirror's circulation in 2020? How many papers did the Daily Mirror used to sell back in the 1990s?
in 1990 newspapers were more commonly used because phones and technology was less used at the time and then later in 2000's, technology was used more and with social media having the ability to show news then the newspaper slowly started to be used less.

3) Why has the newspaper industry struggled in the last 20 years?
The introduction of new advanced technology has allowed phones and social media being competitors of newspapers

4) How has the Daily Mirror reacted to the decline in print sales and the growth of the internet?

The daily mirror have moved their newspaper to online and they even have some sort of social media accounts that they post it on to have some sort of reliability and something to bond with their consumers

5) List five of Galtung & Ruge's News Values and explain how they link to the stories in our CSP edition of the Daily Mirror.

Balance  - how the two brothers were fighting and how Kate tried to reunite them in a dinner.

Grade 8/9 extension task

The Daily Mirror's owner, Reach (then Trinity Mirror) bought control of the Express and Daily Star newspapers in 2018. Read this Guardian feature on the deal. Why did Trinity Mirror buy the papers?

So that they can turn away from newspaper into digital media of being online and on social media, its more of a company buying a well know company and then making choices that they wouldn't have and made it more flexible for people who use social media and technology, another thing would be that their contribution to social media would be make them more well known and then they would slowly take over other companies that have not yet migrated their companies to social media which would give them the advantage,they bought their company to simply expand on their company, but buying the paper would allow them to promote more of their products as they have already bought something that is already well known so if they advertise it then they would have their messages and things spread around to everyone
