-Tabloid news papers usually record on would wide important events so it makes sense for the daily mirror to include such content.

Representations

2) How does the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards represent ordinary British people?



3) How is climate change as an issue represented in the Daily Mirror? What evidence can you provide from the CSP pages to support this?

-My point is supported through how the bottom half of the front cover shows a man suffering from the effect of climate change.

4) How are environmental protesters like Greta Thunberg represented in the Daily Mirror? Look at the inside pages to answer this.

-Greta Thunberg is shown in this paper to be a high standing/important figure in this mater of  discussion about climate change.

5) How are different countries and political leaders represented in the Daily Mirror? Does this reinforce or subvert the stereotypes we usually see in the media?
