I would have used a different background image to the one i used for ant in the jungle, this is because this image came up pix elated on the print and didn't look as clear as I would have liked.

Ideological Discourses in newspapers

1. Crude, joke, grievance.
2. victims of feminism, big dongles, oppressed by feminism.
3. The reader wants to read the ideas that this is 'crude' and causes 'grievance', this is because the readers will agree that this is wrong and therefore they want the writer that is publicly posting this to feel the same way and have the same views as them. This will ease the reader as it makes them feel as though we are all for the ideas of fighting against out of line remarks.

1. Decline, expect, fallen.
2. sharp decline, significant fall, harder.
3. What is said corresponds to what the reader wants to see is that it is nationwide and is not singled out to one school, that is because the audience of this would be parents of a primary school, this will reassure them and put them at ease slightly.

1. lawbreaking, offences, law.
2. responsible, offences against the law.
3. This corresponds with what is want to be seen is because it here details how this is wrong and illegal, this will make someone who agrees with these laws feel abit more at ease because there is law enforcement being implemented.

•  
• Citizen journalism, participatory media, relationships with audiences have changed

• As can be seen by the data…

In recent years, the amount of print sales has massively decreased about newspapers, this is due to the increase in electronic technology. With the use of internet news and news applications, there is now no need to buy a paper copy. This therefore does potentially benefit the environment because there is a much less cost on paper therefore using less wood for paper and saving the environment/ ecosystem. As well as this, it means that there is no need to consume these materials for these things. Also, with the technology in phones, many people have made the conversion to smart phones, even the older generation. Therefore, with these phones comes the applications, which there is a news app, therefore all the news can be collected in one area and all for free of cost. This makes people who are technologically enhanced to have the outlook to use this instead of spending money on printed paper copies. If some people don’t have smartphone but have laptops or computers, they are able to access news on there for free. This is easily accessible through the newspaper’s website will show them all the exact same information that is also collected on the paper. Therefore, with the advancement in technology there is little need for printed copies of the news anymore.

Citizen journalism allows a more interactive way of reading and learning about the news on that day. Through the power of social media there is the option to be interactive and have your own opinion made clear through this. With social media such as twitter, retweets and mentions are available where public replies and shares can be made to spread one persons opinion on the news and to add your own opinon. This ius not accessible in the traditional printed paper and many opinionated people want to be able to access this. As well as this another collaborative way of sharing news is with participatory media. This allows general public to report and enlighten a reporter on events. This is usually voiced through social media, which means that they can use this to share the information they have collected or their personal opinion. This has therefore changed the relationships between the reporters and the readers, with the use of interaction the audience can voice and share their opinion just as much as the reporter can.

This has led to the decrease in paper copies because there is no need for them if it is interactive throughout social media just as it is on the virtual copies of the news. Making it so that there isn’t a necessity to use a physical copy and it is always accessible with the use of smartphone, or computers with internet access. Therefore, decreasing the use of paper prints of the news and increasing the virtualised way of reading and using the news.
