It's impossible to do anything without being biased.
Bias allows a newspaper to target an audience.
Daily Mirror - Working Class
Conglomerate - An organisation that owns a lot of other companies.
Tabloid - Red Top - Simple Text, Not Many Words - a newspaper having pages half the size of those of the average broadsheet, typically popular in style and dominated by sensational stories.
Broadsheet - More informative - A lot of text - minimal pictures - a newspaper with a large format, regarded as more serious and less sensationalist than tabloids.
Brady - 'If it bleeds it leads'
'blasts beasts' 'sick send-off' - alliteration
Preferred Reading - Disgust
POLYSEMY - not everything has a single meaning. One of the best ways of applying media theory, is through suggesting two or more possible meanings.
In creating a newspaper, producers typically attempt to avoid polysemic readings. The process of forcing an audience into a particular reading is called anchoring. This may be done to push a particular political gender onto an audience.
Anchorage - The fixing of a particular meaning to a media text, often through the use of captions.
Uses extreme words like:
Terrorist
Useless
Destroyer
Enemy
Puppet
Nuclear
Ruinous
Marxist

Words with good connotations are used to bullet point good things about labour.
Can representations construct reality?
