Carefully selected editing
Use of language and how the Guardian selects and constructs values and ideologies.
Use of white Evangelists for eg
Very carefully constructed.
Extreme stereotypes interviewed - white Evangelist preacher, reported by young Asian journalist.
Daily Mail TV syndicated American platform
Almost represents Trump as a king, no editing, no cutting. He appears very presidential, flags, desks, chair he appears almost like royalty promoting himself, still bemoaning election.

News print and online comparison
This week you are completing a video voiceover print and online comparison.
Looking at the same days of the DM and Guardian take notes and video of the following:
- circulation (look online)
- ownership (who owns them and how do they differ)
- cost of the paper
- Advertising examples - which ones take up the most space for eg full page in DM costs £30K. Advertising is much more important/effective in print than online.
- Hard news stories in first few pages, when does it change to soft news give egs
- News values CUPPTUNE
- Political Bias egs
- Comparison of the two
