1. The objectives of the session are for students to understand grammar concepts needed to analyze English print media, describe rhetorical features used in media texts, and analyze different genres of journalistic writing.
2. The session will include a discussion on frameworks for text analysis and revising grammatical terms, as well as rhetorical devices used in texts.
3. The document outlines various frameworks and concepts to help students analyze media texts, including examining headlines, genres, rhetorical patterns, word choice, and identifying facts versus opinions.
Bias in the media
This document discusses different types of bias that can occur in media reporting including bias by omission, emphasis, use of language, photos, headlines, and statistics. It notes that the stories selected for reporting and their placement, word choices, images, and headlines can all influence perceptions in ways that do not always show a balanced view of reality. Statistics also need proper interpretation to avoid false impressions.
What is news?
This document discusses key elements that make a story newsworthy for journalism purposes. It identifies timeliness, proximity, prominence, conflict, human interest, oddity, and consequence as important factors. The document provides examples for each element and notes what is not considered newsworthy, such as stories about friends/family or topics another reporter has covered. Students are advised to find a subject they can interview that would be of interest to multiple readers.
Bias In The Media
The document discusses how bias can occur in media through the language used and images presented. It notes that journalists have the power to change the tone of an article based on word choice and that images can reinforce certain ideologies. Some examples are provided of how wording and photos can positively or negatively portray people. The document also discusses how ideologies have changed over time as societies and expectations have changed, and how the media has helped influence and assist in changes to common ideologies.
Should factual writing contain bias
The document discusses bias in factual writing. It argues that while bias is acceptable and even useful in some contexts like debates and columns where differing opinions are expected, bias should be avoided in headline news reporting and product reviews where the goal is impartial information. Bias can lead to facts being omitted or sensationalized in ways that mislead readers rather than inform them. The appropriate role for opinion and bias is after the initial facts have been reported, or in formats specifically meant for discussion and opinion.
Mode of address
The document discusses the mode of address in serious reportage articles. It analyzes two online news articles - one from The Guardian about Donald Trump threatening North Korea, and one from BBC News about sexual harassment claims against several Hollywood stars like Kevin Spacey. The document examines the context, headlines, content, language/structure, audiences and influences of the articles to understand how they construct relations with readers.
Survey and audience research
The survey asked 5 people about their music magazine preferences. Most said they would buy a magazine monthly. When asked about genres, 3 people liked indie, 2 liked metal, and 2 liked pop. The majority thought music magazines were declining due to information being readily available online. Sales data from Q magazine and Metal Hammer showed declining physical sales. The target audience for Q magazine was identified as 34 years old and employed, able to afford the "luxury" of magazines. Q magazine sold around 43,997 issues in the first half of 2015, making approximately £308,000 that year.
The New Athletic American Dream- Draft 2
The document summarizes Andrew Miller's article "The American Dream Goes to College" which discusses the rise of sports films in the late 1920s portraying a new "athletic American dream." Miller identifies three main reasons for the popularity of these films: 1) the rise of football's popularity, 2) colleges providing an ideal setting, and 3) portraying the elimination of class differences. The article is arranged to first outline these three points and then provide further details in four sections. Miller uses specific evidence from films and other sources to effectively persuade readers of his analysis about how these films captured an emerging cultural moment in both cinema and American society.

Hitler: The Birth of the Nazi Party
Here are potential responses to the questions:
1. Hyperinflation devastated German living standards according to charts 3 and 4. Wages rose but could not keep pace with skyrocketing prices, so real wages declined sharply.
2. Food costs rose faster than rent because food is a necessity that people need to buy regularly, while rent contracts were often fixed for longer periods, protecting landlords.
3. Chart 4 shows that during hyperinflation, Germans could no longer afford meat, fish, fruit and luxury foods. Staples like bread, potatoes and fat became the main diet.
