Times Newspaper

Media Amplification      - when a story is blowed out of proportion 
Incitement to racial act     - discrimination, hatred, or violence on the basis of one's origin or membership in an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group
Dog whistle Racism       -racism that only certain people will understand. 

The Times newspaper is a British national ‘quality’ newspaper first published in 1785. The Times has been published by Times Newspapers since 1981, a subsidiary of News UK, wholly owned by News Corp, Rupert Murdoch’s company.
This edition was published on March 13th, 2019, after Theresa May had encountered another Commons defeat over her Brexit proposals. 
The Times is famous for having a range of journalists with varied political viewpoints which allows the newspaper to offer a more neutral political stance on Brexit negotiations

  • Bias of selection of image, chose a image of Theresa May where she looks focused. Which contrasts to the image The Daily Mirror chose of her. Her facial expression has a proairetic code that she is trying to saying something 
  • The copy of the times is more and filled than the The Daily Mirror 
  • The pun of 'Driven to Despair'

Analysis of a chosen scene

 Task  1. List the Media Language (mise-en-scene, editing, Cinematography etc.) that constructs meaning in the scene 2. Identify the preferred reading and the dominant ideology of the scene (e.g. 'a deliberately confusing and distressing ideology that positions the audience uncomfortably') 3. Identify the possible negotiated readings and oppositional reading- how is the audience being positioned?  Claire's reaction to Camille returning (11:45- 14:40) The scene starts with the frame focusing on the back of Claire's head, after seeing Camille in her house. This is a hermeneutic code as the audience are left to wonder what Claire's reaction is. The suspense is further anchored through the hallow unsettling music.  There are various moments within this scene where Claire changes her pace dramatically in seconds which may position the audience in an unnerving situation.
