USE OF MEDIA LANGUAGE

Many people read newspapers for personal identity, people who read different newspapers may consider themselves in different ways. People who read The Observer may think of themselves as open minded. Newspapers change the way they are written for the types of people reading them so the observer is open minded so in the newspaper both sides of an argument are shown to suit the people reading it. If a person reading The Observer, for example, does not agree with the viewpoint they will still agree with some points made in the argument. Newspapers use language like this so people will agree with points made, respect themselves and respect the newspaper.

Images are used in the home page of newspapers because it allows the viewer to see straight away what is inside the magazine. In the Observer magazine, there are colorful images with block writing underneath to intrigue the reader to read the article and to inform the reader of what the article is about. The images will usually contain photos of individual photos as this is what is considered more intriguing to a reader, this is because many people would rather read something about someone rather than about something.
