The difference between tabloids and broadsheets.

The difference between tabloids and broadsheets.


Tabloids: 

- Tabloids are informal and tend to discuss trivial aspects of life including celebrity gossip
- Information is likely to be more opinionated than factual
- Not all information in tabloids can be accounted for
- Tabloids are more likely to appeal to younger generations and people of lower social groupings (C2DE)
- There are large images with large headlines to correspond the images allowing readers to swiftly glance at the front cover and acknowledge what the rest of the content will cover
- There are some comical aspects in tabloids

Broadsheets: 

 - Broadsheets are physically bigger than tabloids
- They are more formal and discuss national/international debates and current news
- Most of the content is supported by evidence
-Broadsheets are likely to appeal to highly educated individuals of a higher social group (ABC1). They are also like to appeal to older generations.
- Reports are longer and less pictures are used
-The font is often smaller
- The layout isn't as colourful and infantilised
- The headlines are more serious and are not comical

Run the world- Beyonce analysis

Run the world- Beyoncé Beyoncé’s world-famous video of ‘Run the world’ declared the singer as the epitome of feminism. Most of the westernised society picture Beyoncé as a pivotal figure within the current feminist movement.   The video not only depicts female empowerment but also a need for a revolutionary change in society. Firstly, the apocalyptic environment the video occurs in is significant. It may symbolise a war between a patriarchal society and a matriarchal society. In other words, it’s a war of what gender gets to ‘run the world’. This idea is further enhanced as males in the video are wearing helmets and carrying protective shields. Their costumes initiate the idea that the women will go to extreme lengths to ‘run the world’. The preferred meaning in this video may be to intimidate those who perceive women as the weaker gender and for this reason, control and manipulate them. It is clear that the men in the video are astonished by the female empowerment they ...
