1. For my Textual Analysis I looked at my own
local newspaper the ‘Leicester Mercury’ ad two
other nearby local newspapers to other city’s.
One being the ‘Manchester Evening News’
The other being the ‘Coventry Telegraph’
2. Local newspaper
focusing on their own
city and the football
being the main story,
this connotes that the
people want to get
behind their city and
there sport which is a
stereotypical C1-C2
income bracket thing
to do.
The sport being the
main story also
connotes how
people of a C1-C2
income bracket
stereotypically
enjoy football as it
is a lower income
bracket sport
unlike horse
racing.
Representations of
a local area are
important to local
newspapers as are
issues relating to
family’s.

3. Family orientated
newspaper with the
headline story
focusing on the
stereotypical males
sport however also
featuring women's
wedding deals and
also other women on
the front of it.

4. A lot of colour used
on the front page
attracting the
audience into buying
the product, this
connotes the C1-C2
income bracket of
people buying the
newspaper who will
buy a newspaper
because it has more
pictures and colour
rather than
information.
