The news choices and content on the Daily Mirror is specific to a typical tabloid newspaper as it provides a distinct balance between hard news and soft news. It also portrays many different images which take up most of the space on the newspaper, and it does not include as much writing as opposed to a typical broadsheet newspaper, which includes more advanced language.
5
There is an unbalanced distribution of images, headlines and text on the front page of the Daily Mirror - with the images dominating most of it. This is typical of a tabloid newspaper, which usually includes less writing and more photos. As well as this, the splash head headline is purposely written in huge, white sans serif font, in order to make it appear all the more captivating towards the reader and stand out in the midst of the other stories on the page.
Representations:
1
The Daily Mirror is in favour of the Labour Party. This is evident through the way in which they voice the problems of the working class and criticise the rich - including the Conservative Party - shown by the unflattering photos displayed of Boris Johnson, the ex-leader of it.
2
The Daily Mirror 'Pride of Britain Awards' represents ordinary British people by presenting awards to members of the British public for their inspiring and extraordinary efforts, which provides a sense of community within British society.
3
Climate change is represented as an issue within The Daily Mirror through its splash head - which demonstrates an extensive article which revolves around the risk of climate change, as well as the pug which depicts a forest fire with the phrase 'Heat is on' in bold, white, capitalised sans serif font - captivating the eye of the reader.

Environmental protestors such as Greta Thunberg are represented in The Daily Mirror through articles which are included within the inside spread, conveying their concerns regarding the issue of global warming and climate change, as well as criticism of politicians and government officials across the world for their incompetence on tackling this issue. She is shown to almost be more superior than these politicians for speaking up on issues which they remain quiet about, therefore indicating that she is respected by The Daily Mirror.
5
Political leaders are dishonoured within The Daily Mirror, an example of this being the pictures provided of the ex-PM Boris Johnson, which portray him in an unflattering right, suggesting that The Daily Mirror does not support him or his ideas. The same goes for King Charles II, which implies that The Daily Mirror are not in favour of the royal monarchy, which subverts typical representations of aristocratic British society shown in the media.
