Newspapers: The Times - Representation and Industries

 Representation

1) What representation of private schools can be found on the main front page story of the Times?

A positive representation of private schools can be found on the main front page story of The Times.

2) What representation of the Conservative Party can be found in the story at the top of the front page 'Calls for criminal enquiry as top ministers deny security leak'?

There's no positive or negative representation of the conservative party in the story at the top of the front page.

3) How are the Royal Family represented in the Times? (See front page 'Fitting tribute' - Duchess of Cambridge picture and the inside page 'Royal Anzac Day on both sides of the world').

The royal family are represented positively in The Times.

4) How does the coverage of the Royal Family in the Times contrast with the reporting of the same events in the Daily Mirror?

• The Times uses more formal language, as well as referring to them more respectfully - "Duke" & "Duchess". Whereas The Daily Mirror refers to them by their names.
• The Times covers the story by focusing on the history of the event. Whereas The Daily Mirror covers it by focusing on the relationships between the two brothers, which is more gossipy. 
• And The Daily Mirror represents the royals as more like 'normal' people. Whereas The Times represents them as up there, more authoritative, important etc. 

5) How are British people and Muslims represented in the article and sidebar 'Sri Lanka tourists warned of more terror'?

British people are represented as more important than any other - warning BRITISH people who like to travel about what's been happening. And Muslims are represented badly and not so much. The picture of a Muslim man at the bottom is small and the story about this Muslim man is negative - they lack importance to The Times and aren't represented positively.
