Ethnocentrism: Is not racism but is the belief that one culture is superior to another culture
British Newspapers tend to take an ethnocentric perspective towards British culture rather than whats happen across the world.
Radio News:
- Brief Stories that are elaborated on
- And then goes back to them to discuss more
Not all British Newspapers are Ethnocentric, people like Donald Trump are included since he is so popular (in a bad way) in the British Public.
- International story
- National UK Political story
- Russian annexation of Crimea
- South african President's repatriation of lands
- Finally the toddler who was murdered is last place and not as "Newsworthiness" as other stories --------->
BBC Radio is politically bias rather than humanly bias, it would classify as a broadsheet newspaper if it was one. Middle-class, older audiences. Conservative.
The radio article does not include if the father was guilty and also no mention of ethnicity either; perhaps that it doesn't have anything to do with the incident.
From a left-wing perspective, ethnicity is not important, for right-wing it is important.
Target audience for Times: Middle-class, right-wing
Target audience for Daily Mirror: working-class, left-wing
Headline lexis
Binary opposition between the middle-class "Finsbury Park" and the horrific incident"
Don't include that it is the father that killed the toddler but rather a "man"
Chooses toddler to make it more manipulative personal angle of view
Selection of images
Ideological perspective, chosen a picture of the murderer with a mean face like if he didn't care. Also he looks quit creepy as well to make the audience feel disgusted
Only contains a drawing since you are not allowed cameras in court
Not similar to the photo in the Daily mirror's article. He is 'different', creepy moustache, looks foreign, clothing makes him seem like an outlaw (nothing like a normal person)
Body language
Layout
Ethnicity
Doesn't include his ethnicity, but where he is from in the UK "Hackney", ethnicity doesn't matter in BBC articles
Negotiated reading, the comments include a lot of completely ridiculous stuff with bare;y has a connection to the article.
comments allow the producer to get feedback from the public
Public comments allow newspapers to get away with certain viewpoints that they cannot tell irl
Clickbait: an article that deliberately wants to get clicked on
