The Queens Jubilee

The Queens Jubilee has been published across a range of media texts due to the huge scale of the event. The most popular text that has represented the event is the newspapers. There have been many articles from a range of news papers publicising the event. The red top tabloids have been patriotic towards the event however the labour backing papers have been more prestidiuice. The Queens Jubilee has an official website to inform the public on all the events taking place and any latest updaes, this is more informative than the newspapers as its direct facts. The Jubilee will be broadcasted on the TV and there has been documentaries in the build up to the event. For example channel four aired a documentary about the 'Queens lost cousins' where as the BBC aired 'The Queen's Jubilee Loyal Address to Parliament' where live coverage from the Palace of Westminster was presented, where Her Majesty the Queen makes a loyal address to MPs and peers as part of her Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

The Telegraph is a right wing paper who target the audience of class A and B in the social classing scale. The audience are likely to consume the BCC. The Telegraph has conservative views which suggest they would be unhappy to spend the tax payers money on this event and would highlight negative features. Where as The Guardian is a left wing paper with strong labour views, yet appear to be reporting on the event rather than having negative attidudes. So the audience are looking forward to the event in positive light.

The event itself has a world wide audience, it appeals to British citizens because of it happening in England. It also draws in an audience from other countries because The Queen is known and loved world wide and many countries don't have their own Queen.  The Jubilee commitee have arranged a vast range of celebrations that appeals to all audience, both men and women, chlildren and adults.

Elle and Top Gear Annotation

Elle magazine targets an audience of woman aged 16 to 25, the stereotypical psychographic is white middle class. The audience who consume Elle are likely to also consume the magazine Cosmopolitan, the TV programme New Girl. Also as Emma Watson appears on the cover meaning the Elle magazine would appeal to Harry Potter consumers.  The anchoring text “Emma Watson” draws you in as she’s an actress and model, this engages with a young female audience who aspire to be like Emma Watson, young and successful.  The mode of the address suggests Emma Watson’s sure of herself, and stylish.  She wears a Coco Chanel  corset enhancing that she’s stylish which links to the genre of the magazine.  The graphology is key in drawing in the audience, as the different style and coloured fonts draws your attention to different sections. For example “the new trends” is big and the word new is in red font. New is a cover line and draws in the attention of the audience.
