q10
Explain how broadsheet newspapers reflect the time and historical contexts in which they were published. refer to the observer front page. from October 20th 1966 that you have studied to support your answer.
The observer cover from the 1960s reflects racism as a part of every day life. An example of this is "Briton shoots gold". this article has incredibly visceral terminology which shows that it is acceptable to be like that i the 1960s. this is because they used it in a main stream newspaper which indicates that society saw racism as acceptable. this is further explored in the article as there was a protest which was shut down as they were suspended which shows how bad the equality is in the 60s. which shows that newspapers reflect the contextual issues of the time. This is also seen in a different article which is about a marriage between a white person and a black person. this is on there to show how uncommon it is in that time which shows how racist the society was in the 60s. this further solidify the 60s opinion on it.
The observer cover form the 1960s also shows the lack of gender equality. this is seen with the lack of women's news and the over sexualised adverts. these adverts present woman as objects and seen as things for men which shows a heavy patriarchal society. this was seen as normal which shows the contextual details of the time as being sexist. how ver some news showed a change in rights as seen in the article"lawyers arge divorce by consent" this shows the social change to a more equal society but is completely over shadowed by how all the article are written by men which shows the divide and lack of equality. this reflects the social issues of the 1960s.
lastly the observer cover from the 60s also shows society fear of war and invasion. An example of this is with the article "so polite this north sea spy game" this article shows the issues of the cold war because it tells the audience about what happens if a russian plane flys over England which shows the fear people have as it shows it could happen. this clearly indicates that society in the 60s was fearful of war as there was also the Vietnam war happening. this reflects the issues in society.

Q6
a)globalisation
b)broadsheet
Q7
explain 2 reasons why print newspaper survive despite the growth of online news.
Print newspaper has survived despite the growth of online news because the older generation continue to buy it still. this is a tradition of them and they usually don't know how to use the internet. this brings me on to the second point of people who don't have internet would get the newspaper as they cant access online news. so its survived through people with a lack of internet and the elderly.
Q8
race and gender
race is a under-represented social group they are rarely shown in the news and when they are shown to be strong and serious as they are all grouping together and making a stand for racism
gender is usually under-represented but the observer the female gender is represented as strong as seen with the Lexus in the quote "the women who shamed the bbc" this shows that they are strong as they shamed a huge organisation and also the image of her smiling continues to solidify she's strong

broadsheet
intro-->yes it is a broadsheet, copy, masthead, one image, hard news.
P1---> masthead- bold ,serif ,black+white ,capital and lower case. serious traditional formal
P2--->image- mid shot, press conference, staged photo. positive image, suits. hard news expected in broadsheet, shows that they are united.
The observer extract reflects genre conventions of a broadsheet very far through media language. this is seen in the Copy, masthead and image.
The observer extract has lots of copy which is a genre convention for broadsheet newspapers. this is seen with the five plus paragraphs on the cover this is a convention of broadsheet as it is mainly copy this is further shown as there is one main image which makes room for more copy.
The genre conventions continue with the main image. the main image is the prime minister if the uk shaking hands with the deputy of the president of the us. this image is seen as positive as its a midshot of them smilling. it is also formal as they are wearing suits. this shows that its a broadsheet as this is hard news. this also shows the context of the time as the us and uk have good relations. this further solidifies that the observer cover is a broadsheet.
lastly the genre conventions are seen in the traditional masthead. the masthead is in black and white and serif forn nd upper case letters to start it but lower case in the actual word. this shows that its a serious newspaper as it follows rules of grammer and it looks very serious. the lack of colour further shows this as its a convention for broadsheets to not have a colourful masthead. this is also shown with the serif font which also shows tah tits serious as its not blocky and is more like handwriting which shows its more traditional which shows its a broadsheet.
To conclude the observer cover reflects the genre convention's of a broadsheet newspaper through the media language of the main image, copy and masthead.

the high amount of copy also provides evidence for it being a broadsheet as it broadsheets have a much larger volume of text.
Q9. the representations are typical for an observer cover because of the main image. On this image is shows serena williams and Andy Murray this shows its typically it has both genders shown in an unsexulaised light. this breaks stereotypes as its also multi-cultural which further shows that its an observe newspaper as its liberal.
