The Paradise Papers story coverage


The Paradise Papers story coverage









On Monday 6th November, the main headlines covered leaved documents revealing the financial details of the super rich. It outlined how many were allowed to keep money outside of the UK in order to avoid paying tax.

Both papers have presented the same story with completely different perspectives... this is due to their own different individual ideologies. For example, 'The Daily Mail' uses a particular choice of language in the headline such as 'dragged' which has negative connotations in order to portray the Queen as the victim in the situation. In comparison, The Guardian uses contrasting negative language to present the Queen such as 'exploiting' and 'controversial' which makes her appear like the perpetrator in this article. This is due to the fact that the Guardian is a left wing broadsheet newspaper which means they are critical of the Queen, unlike the views of the Daily Mail.









The Guardian focuses on the same issues that other news articles      may cover due to the fact they want to express their different news values and political ideology's. For example, The Guardians political allegiance is left leaning with a leadership largely split between labour and lib deb voters...this means that they may promote different views in their writing in comparison to other papers such as the Daily Mail who's political stance is Right leaning with traditionally conservative values. The Guardian spent a number of days publishing a series of articles focusing on the 'paradise papers' story... the colour yellow linked all of these papers together.

To begin, one of the representations employed in the advert is displaying 3 different faces, this emphasises the normality it it is for people to feel perhaps upset and scared (shown through the individuals blank faces)- this way of advertisement may evoke people to have a social conscience and believe in collective responsibility. There is soft lighting used to make their faces clearer and highlight there expressions, the background has also been made black to emphasise their faces.  Shelter has purposely chosen 3 completely different individuals with different ethnic backgrounds to convey the message that anyone can be in the situation of loosing their home and...

Statement of Intent

Media theoretical framework: -Media language- conventions of products -Media audience- target audience -Media representation- How the message is constructed about groups of people and how the audience relate to these constructions. -Media Industries- The companies behind the products, the legal considerations and how profit is generated by the products. Considerations relating to cross media platforms and where products will appear as part of the campaign. My Statement of Intent One of the most significant aspects about the products I'm producing is the fact that they are made ethically via fair-trade... this is why it is crucial that I showcase my brand as a contemporary company by not only focusing on the stylish and trendy pieces, but also the morally correct way they have been produced. I will be presenting and promoting my brand by displaying the clothing on the two billboards. Both of my billboards will follow a similar theme when promoting the different products...
