Breaking NEWS!: Exam's Next Week

  Media Language - The techniques used to get across meanings in any media product, for newspapers this includes - Masthead, choice of images, layout etc Political Contexts - The political context that surrounds the production of a media product i.e The Guardian is liberal left so supports Labour more than it supports the conservatives Levi-Strauss' - Strauss studied human myths and identified the idea that we understand our world through binary oppositions, we cannot have night without day etc. More prevalent in Newspapers through contrasting representations of a given group.
