Daily star

The masthead is a red top they copy ‘star’ suggests they shine within darkness; they are a beacon of light or even the best therefore obviously comparing them to other newspapers to be better than they are. This idea of them trying to compete and suggests they are much better than other newspapers is further enforced by the big bold ‘20p’ stamp copy then underneath it is stating ‘cheaper than the sun’ This referential code not only is it using the prices of its newspaper to suggest it is better, as you would prefer the cheaper option, but it also compares it to a newspaper that is very hated by certain communities in England, one being Liverpool.

Tabloid newspapers in comparison to broadsheets newspapers are very formal and use more colloquial language. The main heading story is an enigma code as we want to know more and it states ‘Big bro Sarah’s booze binges’ whilst this contains alliteration and abbreviations to make it catchy. It also makes it harder to understand. However, this shows that this tabloid newspaper values elite people, specifically celebrities. Also underneath this title is a sub heading which is the action code somewhat as it reveals 'troubled star hides bottles to neck on her own.' this gives further information of the title however i feel like this newspaper is more insensitive about the situation.

Furthermore, the subheading ‘stars out for Manc bomb gig.’ Whilst ‘Manc’ is an abbreviation of Manchester, this subheading is very insensitive by referring to the one love concert as a bomb concert almost feels like it slightly mocking it.

In addition, this newspaper contains a sexualized photograph. This relates to Lisbet van Zoonens theory that women are objectified and sexualized in the media.
