The impact on the internet on print journalism is constantly changing, this is because readership habits are also changing. As a result of this there has been a dramatic change within the way people are regarding and viewing current news issues and readership habits have steadily developed from Print Newspapers to Online Media.

The props within 'American Beauty'  would suggest the idea of the American Dream (house, car, family etc), with Primary colours present throughout these scenes- red,white and blue. This is a representation of the 'good old' American country. As well as this the colours are also bland, simplistic and boring. This is present in the bedroom, bathroom and the office, which could reflect the lifestyle choices of the characters. It is evident that this has also been considered in the choices of clothing with Jane and Lester but less with Carolyn, also known as colour wise. The choices made for Lesters clothing might suggest the idea that he feels like he might be dying or he is already dead. In one particular scene the bedroom is dark on Lester's side of the bed, which might implie that Lester has some form of mental health disorder such as depression. Along side this, Roses appear present throughout the film. Jane, the daughter, has roses on her jumper, the mother, Car...

   The Daily Mail is a right wing, tabloid paper and the editor is appealing to a nationalist ideology which would plea an interest to conservative readers. From the paper we can understand that the readership is the older generation. The adjective 'gloomy' suggests this and implies there is a negative tone across the tabloid paper. The Daily Mail uses 'Audience Positioning', this is when a text is structured in ways that position audiences to adopt a particular perspective or viewpoint. This can be done through mode of dress, representation or narrative. In this case, The Daily Mail uses the narrative to represent the viewpoints of those who support the conservative party (right wing). As well as this, the paper is critical due to its emotive language 'die hard reainers'.

When using codes and conventions  you are able to judge the content you expect to be reading. Broadsheet newspapers such as The Guardian cover stories in depth, focusing on ...
