Music video question~ Explain how representation in music videos are chosen to promote the artist(s). The music videos I have chosen to study are Unfinished Sympathy by Massive Attack and Burn the Witch by Radiohead. Both of which contrast massively in different ways as each music video contains a different context. They both convey artists in different perspectives, for example the unfinished sympathy as directed to display ordinary life with a woman walk down the street which allows the audience to relate to the video more as is it portrays reality. However, in the video to the accompaniment of Radiohead, the main singer is not visible as the video shows an interesting yet different story and is based on the 1960's children's animated 'Trumpton' programmes. Firstly, Massive Attack use the opportunity of this song to create a music video which inspires and celebrates diversity as they film povertised areas and use the traditional style of making the lead singer

In comparison with each other the first initial differences between the two newspapers is that one newspaper is a tabloid and the other is displayed as a broadsheet. In a tabloid, the audience is targeted at a much younger generation than a broadsheet's target audience . The audiences use the media to fid out information about what is occurring in the world day by day. A tabloid uses much more colloquial language, whereas a broadsheet uses more standard and formal English Language. A tabloid refers to soft news and a broadsheet refers to hard news. Tabloid's are very biased to which ever political side is winning, however broadsheet newspapers focus more on politics in general and the economy. Both newspapers have a byline as well as visual images and captions but there are positioned in different places on each newspaper and tabloid images are more bold and enlarged. The Telegraph newspaper in a category 'group A' therefore it means it is for the upper middle c

Stereotypes in the news

Online digital publications

Online digital publications Both digital and printed newspapers contain mastheads and main headlines with the top news stories, however, online and printed differentiate due to the increased amount of visual images and adverts/cookies on online newspapers. The news values of The Guardian is doubtlessly political due to  its focus on Corbyn, contrasting with that, The Mail online targets commercial stories which re aimed at the younger generations/teenagers. Therefore, the political ideologies remain the same. I believe that both platforms do not attract the same audiences because online news is for more technological people such as the younger generation, whereas, printed newspapers appeal to older generations who are less experienced with technology. From observing both online publications, I think that the Guardian invests more capital in producing their online brand, because of this, the Guardians readership habits are evidently much higher than the Mail online. For example, the
