All covers feature a mixture of hard and
soft news stories. They also include examples of news values like
meaningfulness as it covers cultural events that are relevant in the uk. There
is also unexpectedness e.g. the headline’-20c UK is cold as south pole’ due to
this being quite unlikely and unexpected, it is a topic worth reporting. This
headline also shows the news value of elite nations as the weather is something
that can be considered as quite a big deal in the UK due to its well known
fluctuations so this is more likely to be reported. The headline ‘fury over
plot to let 1.5m turks into Britain’ shows continuity as immigration issues are
covered frequently by UK magazines, especially in all the years post brexit, it
is becoming a popular topic to report on. The daily mail usually encorporates
elite people into its issues. For example, the queen is mentioned on 2/3 of
these papers proving their coverage of the royal family (elite people) is common and popular amongst the
demographic. All 3 papers represent the negativity news value proving the daily
mail usually covers topics deemed quite shocking to entice readers. The NHS,
weather and immigration are the topic of headlines in all 3 covers reflecting
the zeitgeist and issues in the UK at the moment.
