Question 2 on the paper is looking at the genres of newspaper (the codes and conventions). You need to be able to label the newspapers using the media terminology on your newspaper glossary. Read the question and consider how you might attempt to answer it.
Sources A and B cover the same news event but are from different genres of newspaper. How far has genre influenced the media language used in Sources A and B?
In your answer you must:
- outline genre conventions in British newspapers
- analyse the contrasting use of media language in the sources
- make judgements and reach conclusions about how far genre has influenced the media language used.
