The Impact of Technological Change on Newspapers

Many newspaper companies have stopped printing due to the cost as most people get all their news online rather than buying a newspaper, so what many newspapers do it put up a paywall so people have to pay and subscribe to read their website and have access to all the articles. The most popular newspapers can afford to take of there paywall as they still get loads of readers maybe even more and also have ad's on their websites anyway, whereas the smaller less known newspapers need the money from the paywall as they don't have as many readers. Here are some newspaper sites that do or don't have paywalls:

The Guardian:
The Guardians website doesn't have a paywall they allow their readers to read for free but they have wrote on their page 'unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall' yet they add at the end 'For as little as £1, you can support the Guardian', although they don't force their readers to pay to read they do ask for people to support them by paying as little as £1. They also have a Facebook page attracting a younger teenage audience.
The Daily Mail:
There site like The Guardian doesn't have any paywalls allowing their audience to read for free. They promote readers by using social media by creating a Facebook page, this way they can attract a younger audience by uploading there headline for that day so people are interested.

 The Sun:
No paywall

 Daily Mirror:
No paywall

 Daily Telegraph:
Their website does have some articles anyone can access but some of the more popular articles have a yellow premium star next to them where only people who buy premium can read, its free for the first 30 days but then £2 a week or £100 for 12 months, so yes it does have a paywall.

 Metro:
There is no paywall and the manager director says "There's no paywall discussion at Metro."

 The Independent:
No paywall

 Daily Express:
No Paywall

 The Times:
Does have a paywall

Media Language and Representation: Unseen Advertisement

Analyse how the poster advertisement (Source A) has created meaning through the use of Media Language in this source by comparing it to the Shelter advertising campaign. Amnesty use a hand to cut the barbed wire instead of scissors of wire cutters is because it shows peace, this also links with the fact that the hand is in the peace sign showing how they do peaceful protests. The barbed wire represents how people are taking away peoples human rights, for example, some people are forced into a life of slavery meaning their human rights are being taken away, so Amnesty are showing how they fight this with peace and cut the wire restricting people from their human rights. Shelter follows similar colours by using the red but also black. Both this charities are very different so take different approaches, as seen Amnesty doesn't use actors as they don't take a picture, it is drawn but still has a deeper meaning. She...

Stranger Things- Character Representation

Questions: Minor or major character do they conform to any stereotypes what are their characteristics what is their contribution to the narrative   Joyce Byers: major he conforms to the stereotype of a mother as she works long hours to provide for her two sons, also when Will go missing she does everything and anything she can to try to find him. adult, mother, white, single parent her contribution to the narrative is being the worried mother who is doing all in her power to find Will and make sure he is safe, just in the first episode you can tell how worried she is even though Will hasn't been missing for that long Will Byers major just looking at the first episode its hard to get a good look into Will's character as he gets taken about 10 minutes in, but from looking at the bits he's in and hearing his personality from his mum and brother he does seem like a stereotypical teenager as he is seen playing board games with his mates and listening to popul...

Stereotypes

Gender : stereotypes for gender are mainly based from the older times, men are meant to go to work and get money in for the family while the women stays are home looking after the kids, cooking and cleaning, these stereotypes aren't seen or thought of any more as women and just as work active as any man, so these stereotypes don't work for this time. Social Class : this is another stereotype that doesn't relate to the present day but there is still clear lines between the rich and the poor. The different social classes are lower class, middle class and upper class, the lower class or also known as the working class do all the hard labour and are usually considered to work for the upper classes, the middle classes also do work but its not as long or as hard, they could be doctors or police or something like that, the upper classes usually own the factories that provide work for the lower classes. It doesn't work like that now but it does still happen as ri...
