5. Newspaper readership can still be used as a symbol of one’s
social identity. The term ‘Guardian reader’
connotes a certain
type of social attitude and The
Observer similarly reinforces
a set of social and political attitudes, and thus
identity, in its
representations. For example,
Observer readers like to think
of themselves as open-minded and this is reflected
in the
Observer’s practice of allowing both sides of an
argument
equally to be put when the newspaper is clearly on
one side
of this argument. There is an example of this
in.... education
6. The entertainment
function of newspapers may take the
form of humour. It may take the form of
diversion into
a celebrity world of ‘glamour’. It may take the
form of human
interest stories in which readers are invited to
sympathise with
the subjects of the article. Newspapers further
offer games,
puzzles, crosswords and the like. At the higher
end, sections
such as the New Review in the Observer may offer
the pleasure
of extremely well-written think pieces and
literature reviews. An example of this is.... Music
