Newspapers
infoWhy this? Newspapers help us investigate how ownership, editorial selection, framing, and regulation influence the information available to the public. Comparing news products develops critical awareness of ideology and audience positioning, enabling us to evaluate how news organisations contribute to public debate.
scheduleWhy now? Earlier work on representation, audience readings, and ownership provides the conceptual grounding for examining news agendas and their political and social contexts. Experience of magazine analysis also supports close reading of newspaper design and language, allowing us to connect presentation with institutional priorities.
