Stuart hall - reception theory
Dominant reading
negotiated reading
oppositional reading

In relation to the inews online the dominant reading would agree what the article is publishing. The negotiated reading

Readers are given the opportunity to negotiate meaning through broadsheet conventions - Objectivity and balace

However liberal sensibilities and love of qart and culture are pandered to with a wide range of stories/articles that position the audince into a shared cultural experience

An element of self estemm ensures readers feeel goof about themselves as they can understand sometimes complex issues

bandura - social learning theory
BoBo doll experiment peaople learn behaviours


Simple theory suggesting audiences are victim to active consmption

The i reader more actively consumes mewspaper content (see uses and gratification theory - surveillance , social interation, personal identitiy and diversion up to a point).

The newspaper resists Banduras theories through the interactuve approach of 'dipping in and dipping out' - behaviour is not affected

Gerberner - cultivation theory
- Studied long term effects of television on people they believe that the more time people spend in television world, the more they will believe that social reality aligns with reality portrayed on television

The i reflects a lack of obvious encoded news values

It offers more diverse pluralistic representations

Through this the newspaper challenges the concept that ideologies are cultvated.

It is in binary opposistion to the the daily mail in this regard

Economic conext

Successful website reflects decline in print media cirulation (and particularly law i circulation). The print version wants to direct you to the website

Convergent linlks to A-V media and social media (twitter and facebook) - interactive discussion using web 2.0

Hard news dominates above and below the fold with a simplisti, uncluttered design and layout that allows the user to selec and actively engage.


Iprint vs online

INteractive content, easier to access on a range of platforms like a website - more accessibility and choice

Immediacy - Breaking news stories but also ability to expand content (Yje o print version has limited content compared to most Broadsheets )

Maintains house styles/ brand identity of the envire




Regulation
Narrative objectibity resists that controverrsy of other newspaper like the daily mail
Quality tabloids and broadsheets are less in need of regualtion - less dramatic, cmotive headlines likely to cause offence
