Ownership and regulation

13 companies own national titles these companies/ people are Lord Rothmere and 5 companies own mor ethan one. When the companies own mor ethan one title the titles usually link together so they have a word which is in all of them. For example Rupert murdoch owns four titles and they all either have at leat one of the following words: sunday, times and the, another example is freddy and barcalys newspaper are called the telegraph and sunday telegraph through the titles having the wort telegraph it shows that they are related.

Trinity mirror owns the liecester mercury which is a regional newspaper but they also own three other newspaper titles. The regional newspaper title doesnt sound like the trinitys other newspaper titles as they all have the word sunday or mirror in them. They may use this to make the regional newspaper have a more community feel to it than an ofshoot of a large newspaper.

Rupert murdoch  also owns media outlets such as sky aand fox television so he has alot of control over what people see as fox has its own news show and so does sky and it is broadcasted all over the world and also in leading countries such as the usa. It links into Hesmondhalg's theory as if one of his outlets do a projects dosnt do well then he has other outlets which can cover the cosnts of hi failiure. because news in general especially cultural news is a hrd thing to predict whether consumers will like it or not so newspapers not selling as well as imgained is a risk which his news outlets have to take. To make sure that they dont run out of money if soemthing dosnt go well Murdoch takes money from businesses which are "big hits" and uses it to cover the failiure cost of the media outlet.As ewspapers are not destroyed upon consumption they can be replicated which means workers have tov take bigger risk than food companies.

They have done an exact front photograph of his face and shoulders which makes him look like he is looking directly at the reader. He has his signature hair and makeup so that he is easily recognizable. They have used a very white light to highlight his pale skin and to emphasize the vividness of his face paint.
