OBSERVER FRONT PAGE Q9





On the observer front page there is diverse amount of ethnicity which represents Britain as a well diverse country and not just white men, like newspapers and magazines once only showed, this reflects the social and cultural contexts. Also, there's a large amount of different women on the cover, for example there is a women who is represented as fit and extremely sporty, her foot is even hanging out of the yellow box which could connote that she won't follow the 'stereotypical rules' of a women (like cleaning, cooking and others) but will do what she desires, in this case being an athlete. But on the other hand, there is the Great British Bake Off winner, she could be seen as following the stereotypical guidelines of females, a cook. The greatly contrast each other showing the social context of Modern Britain and shows how diverse women are now a days and that feminism hugely impacts our lives.

Men are represented almost vulnerably on the front page. The runner is in an anti stereotypical kneeling  pose which connotes his vulnerability in such a competitive environment, a sports arena. This shows that men aren't always the hard going, competitive people which they can be deceived as. 

Next, the lead story is on Brexit, showing how dominating it is on the world today. Not only this but David Milbrand as the one discussing politics, causing a slight stereotype as the men are discussing serious issues like Brexit while the women are only featured when discussing cooking, comedy and running which are much less significant topics.

  1. Marks 8 + 3 =11 Well done, .
    AO2(1a) Analyse media products using the theoretical framework of media including in relation to their contexts. (total 10 marks)
    Level 3 (7–10 marks)
    An excellent application of the relevant elements of the theoretical framework and media contexts.
    • A sophisticated, perceptive and accurate analysis of relevant aspects of the extract supported by a range of examples.

    AO2(1b) Make judgements and draw conclusions. (total 5 marks)
    Level 3 (4–5 marks)
    A clear judgement and conclusion is reached and is fairly well supported by the analysis., but best to refer precisely to actual articles by name (diversity, Nadia, Mo)
    There is a well-developed line of reasoning which is clear and logically structured. The information presented is relevant and substantiated. Expression: instead of 'Men are represented almost vulnerably ' write 'as vulnerable'.
    You should write about interactivity.
