Historical case studies
L/o: to evaluate the impact of social, cultural, political and historical context on 1960s newspapers.
1960s issues:
- Hopes rise for cease-fire in Vietnam
- Jackie: we're very happy
- Police will appease marchers
London Police want it to be known that they have decided on a police of appeasement at next Sunday Anti Vietnam war demonstration.
1950s was the peak circulation for newspapers it was common to buy more than just the Sunday news, but have had a constant contest against TV. Due to TV the Newspaper circulation has dropped by 25 million.
Its about understanding class we've changed since 1960s back then you'd have to be in a high class or middle class with lots of money because back then you had no support except your own money but now days we have student loans which pay for you to go to university no matter the class you'd just have to pay it off later in life.
Observer was a broadsheet while sun was a tabloid The went to being a tabloid in 1969 Broadsheet news was dominated by a news agenda which is little self promotion on the front page while sun a tabloid makes the front cover pop out relied on the front cover to attract the readers and make them want to buy it while the Observer was more bland not much effort put into it and relied on actual news and was written in pretty basic english due to it being aimed at working class who have worse Knowledge and reading.
Britons shoot gold:
At the Mexico olympics Bob Braithwaite 43 year old veterinary surgeon from preston won the clay pigeon shooting him and his peers were wearing black gloves in the olympics to stand up to racism were then suspended that night from competing in the olympics they had to stay there in Mexico until the night was over.
Jackie: we're very happy
Jackie Kennedy went to re marry a man called Tellis on a small greek island but in the news article it mainly focused on Tellis and Mr Kennedy more than Jackie which shows unequal gender equality especially when it should be about Jackie.
