Q1 and Q2

 Plan
Q1 - Outline the theory for hall's representation theory in the first paragraph. After that then apply the theory to each of the set producsts. For example, you would outline how the theory works and how it can be applied to one of the sources, then state the limitations when it comes to using this theory. Then after you would talk about the theory for the other source and how it can be applied then you state the limitations of using this theory. After that, you will come up with a conclusion on how different social and cultural representations are being used.

Q2 - Firstly, I would go macro and talk about the conventions of each type of newspaper and it's genre as a whole, for example the use of online and print news and it's conventions. After that, I would go micro where I talk specifically about the genre conventions for both sources (2 paragraphs, 1 for each source) whilst also giving specific media langauge. After that, I would then give a conclusion.I would also bring in a theorist. For this specific question, since it's asking about genre, I would bring in steve neale.

Paragraphs

Halls theory - There will never be one true meaning in a media as there is no true representation and it can also be challenged.

Q1 

For the Daily Mail we can see it uses hall's representation theory as we see in the source that the Daily Mail are mentioning a royalist TV show, where it is usually cultural that The Daily Mail is a pro-conservative newspaper that also favours royals, so if anyone who is a reader of The Daily Mail will know that there is the use of royalism in the newspaper, since they know that The Daily Mail likes royals. However, when we see in this source, we can at the top of the paper, it talks about the TV show crown and that you should listen to their podcast about it, using hall's theory of representation, we can interpret it as that The Daily Mail might like the TV show, or that they might hate it since there is no true representation since it can be challenged, and royalists are usually represented as good culturally in The Daily Mail. The Daily Mail talk about Nigel Farage in the source and will he be able to turn his jungle votes into actual votes. We can interpret this that they like Nigel Farage, as he is in the Conservative party and that the ideology of The Daily Mail is a right wing newspaper, so meaning that they heavily favour him, however some people might twist it and say that The Daily Mail might be making fun of him since there is no true story or meaning behind the story for the paper.

Q2

The genre conventions for The Guardian shown in the source is quite conventional when it comes to influencing Media Language. As we see in the source it has a section on where it is talking about the war with Palestine and Israel, this shows that it is quite conventional as left-wing papers typically focus on international news more than right wing newspapers. Steve Neale says that repetition and difference is both needed for genre. As we clearly see in the source for The Guardian, it follows the typical convention of online news sources, where at the top it shows that there is a sport and culture section there is also the weather section which is quite conventional when it comes to online news websites as they show other parts, we can also see that there is a live section for the news area for both sources which shows that this is also a conventional feature. However, a difference would be is that The Guardian has a live section on the right for Gaza and it's people, this is a difference with convention as The Guardian is trying to shift their aim to also the Israeli and Palestine war whereas the Mirror is not doing it.
