The front pages of the various UK newspapers may be of interest to any student or teacher exploring issues relating to institutional bias, an exploration of media forms and issues of representation. There are a whole host of media issues and debates across AS and A2 that relate to these resources. I used these images with my Y13 to examine representation and the issues relating to Section B of MEST 3. My students were particularly impressive when analysing how photography and the mediation of the visual imagery was used in the Independent and The Daily Mirror. The Daily Mail front page is interesting as their free DVD suggests that they clearly value history yet they almost ignore the historic and unique live Television debate. I wonder why?
