The Daily Mirror as a title: a national tabloid founded in 1903, owned by Reach plc, which describes itself as left of centre and has backed the Labour Party at every general election since 1945.
Industry: ownership, funding through cover price and advertising, falling print sales and the move online, and regulation by IPSO.
Audiences: who reads the paper in print and online, how it addresses them, and how it uses its website and social media.
Media language and representation: the conventions of a red-top front page, its mode of address, and how the paper's politics shape the way it represents people, issues and events.
The set editions change every year, so learn the paper as a title (its owner, readers, politics and front-page style) and apply it to the editions set for your exam.
