the times front page revision

point of view and ideology 

The front page shows the paper has a middle-upper class stance, this is made clear by the large amounts of copy and serif font used- elements which also demonstrate how seriously the paper is taking the situation. this is reinforced by the large use of a black and white colour palette.

Layout and design 

The image of Theresa May is centred and fills a lot of the page- representing her as at the middle of it all and how she is the face of politics today. she is framed by the writing to establish her importance and the power she has- however, in the close-up photo she looks distraught. She has a pained facial expression and dark rings under her eyes which denote high emotions and possible lack of sleep- representing brexit and politics as tiring as well as making her look weak. 

Composition – positioning of headlines, images, columns, combination of stories

Images/photographs - camera shot type, angle, focus

the main, and only, image used on the front page is a close up of Theresa May, the use of a close up makes the photo quite unflattering, representing her negatively to readers.

The Times newspaper is a British national ‘quality’ newspaper first published in 1785. The Times has been published by Times Newspapers since 1981, a subsidiary of News UK, wholly owned by News Corp, Rupert Murdoch’s company.

This edition was published on March 13th, 2019, after Theresa May had encountered another Commons defeat over her Brexit proposals. 

The Times is famous for having a range of journalists with varied political viewpoints which allows the newspaper to offer a more neutral political stance on Brexit negotiations

Keith Rupert Murdoch, AC, KCSG is an Australian-born American media mogul who founded News Corp. Murdoch's father, Sir Keith Murdoch, was a reporter and editor who became a senior executive of The Herald and Weekly Times publishing company, covering all Australian states except New South Wales.

Murdoch inherited his father's papers, the Sunday Mail and the News, and continued to purchase other media outlets over the years. In the 1970s, he started buying American newspapers.

Instead of a former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, we have Rupert Murdoch as the founder of Fox News, which for years — starting long before Donald Trump’s presidency — injected racist, anti-Semitic and anti-liberal tropes into the American mainstream (remember the war on Christmas?). Fox isn’t watched by everyone, but for those who do watch, Fox is everything. As my colleague Jon Schwarz wrote the other day, it’s possible to imagine the political violence of the past weeks occurring even if Hillary Clinton had been elected president — we can take Trump out of the equation, and we still might have crazed Americans trying to kill other Americans because of their religion, skin color, or party affiliation. But it’s impossible to imagine these attacks occurring without years of Fox News spreading the ideology of white nationalism. The network promotes conspiracy theories that begin in the bowels of the internet, and it feeds into those bowels an army of converts willing to go further than Fox & Friends dares.
