Daily Express - January 1st, 2019.
The Daily Express is a national tabloid newspaper. The mast head is positioned in the top, centre of the newspaper, and the writing is black among the white of the newspaper. However, there is colour on the logo of a white and red knight holding up a shield with the English flag on it. This knight symbolises protection of the English people, he is fierce and brave by looking after his people. This is used to connote the idea that this newspaper is going to protect the English people though telling them the truth. Furthermore, this is important here, considering the knight protecting the country actually goes with the main headline which is 'border boats called in over channel margins.' The main story here is about migrants coming into the country and the fact that they will be rescued before being returned to their country. This could link to the knight and his protective nature considering he is protecting the country from people who are attempting to cross the borders.
Other headlines with fewer information on them read 'Jimmy Osmond Star suffers stroke on stage during panto' and 'May: ill turn a corner on Brexit,' although these news stories don't have other information they do mention which page the story is located and are used to intrigue the readers. The use of language within this newspaper is informative and doesn't include a direct mode of address. Furthermore, it includes a news value of having potential continuity, maybe through reporting the amount of migrants returned home. It also mentions a political element mentioning Javid who is a conservative party home secretary at the time. However, it doesn't influence the readers into believeing his decision is neither positive nor negative, it is up to the reader to decide.
