Analysing bias and the construction of representation in The Times and The Daily Mirror

Selection of words like 'fed-up' or 'fears' with negative connotations are symbolic of a bad election result.

Americans are represented as being hooligans.

Trying to make it relatable for the newspaper's target audience.

A lot of use of red white and blue like the American flag which has patriarchal connotations

'America's Brexit' may have different connotations depending on the political views of the reader.

Uses a lot of words that may connote negativity suggesting that this paper is more left wing than right wing.
'The New World' gives a sense of accomplishment as well as the word "Glore" that is symbolic of Trump's victory.

Wrap around newspaper is sed to emphasise how important this shock outcome is.

This paper is clearly more right wing.

The image of the statue of liberty with her hands over her face is symbolic of devastation and has connotations of defeat. It also seems like a weeping angel which would be something the UK public would recognise.


The Daily Mirror has very left wing beliefs but is also right wing due to the benefits that may come if there is a right wing prime minister in the UK.

The Times is clearly very right wing and has the belief that it is 'every man for themselves'.


All of these newspapers represent America differently. The First one shows that America is a happy, wealthy place because of the people living there. However, it is a complete contrast to the third paper which is actually the same paper. The lack of ethnicity in the images in the newspaper may have links to white supremacy however. The second one shows a very 'normal' picture of Donald Trump and Mike Pence clapping which is symbolic of victory and also connote freedom. The third newspaper represents America as a wasteland due to the results of the most recent election.

Deliberately challenged the image. Its childish defacing. This defacing plays on the ideology that nothing is too high up to take down. Banksy Drawing of Policeman snorting cocaine. This is know as detournement. It is a form of high-jacking or re-routing. It is more commonly seen as Culture Jamming. Culture jamming is often obsessed with the idea of destructing consumerism/capitalism. Culture jamming - the practise of criticising and subverting advertising and consumerism in the mass media, by methods such as producing advertisements parodying those of global brands. Adbusters potential genres: Pop Culture - Sans serif font has informal connotations Satirical Comedy - Attacks something. Adbusters uses a lot of negative white space which connotes purity but directly contrasts with the image shown on the background. Masthead changes every time. Every magazine cover is unique which shows they are challenging. There is no reference to anything that is inside. No...
