Newspaper front page analysis (tabloid)


concept flow practise 1st paragraph:
The masthead uses a sans-serif font as well as the headline to give the newspaper a modern look, suggesting the newspaper will get straight to the point. The white masthead stands out in the red background so that the target audience can quickly identify this as a tabloid newspaper. The demographics for tabloid newspapers are mainly working class people that fall into the economic scale between D-E. This is because of the informal language used such as “Jordan strikers” which connotes how they are referring to her breasts they use the word “strikers” as she is shown in a long shot of her dressed in a football shirt suggesting the target audience are males as that is a sport that is associated with men. Furthermore, the colour blue connotes this, as that is a sterotypical colour associated with boys. They use the name “Jordan” instead of her maiden name “Katie Price” which proposes that she is still being objectified as that was her was her stage name as a glamour model suggesting that she is just there to be looked at.
