Q7 Media Paper 1: Ideology can be defined as a collection of values and beliefs. To what extent do media products target audiences by constructing an ideological view of the world?
You should refer to your newspaper Close Study Products, The i and The Daily Mail.

Ideology – a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy.

Libertarianism – The I – promoting freedom. Shows the harsh reality of what’s going on in the world.

“vote on Johnson future turning toxic for Tories” suggesting that the Torie party is becoming toxic after Johnson became prime minister and more so after the queens jubilee due to wasted tax used for the queens parade.

The I shows wars and more of the real world problems across the whole globe not just in the UK which shows the papers values are to spread news and awareness to places which can help.

Authoritarian – Daily Mail – government run so only things the government are okay with being included are used.

For example promoting the queen “my heart has been with you all” suggesting the queen has always been there for us excluding the amount of ‘her peoples’ money that she wasted on her jubilee parade rather than it being spent on good causes such as the NHS or helping Ukrainian refugees.

The Daily Mail only shows what’s going on in the UK excluding other countries making out that everything elsewhere in the world is fine whereas in reality its not. Suggesting they value what the government want to keep hidden from the UK over what the UK deserve to see.
