Below is a link to an incredible article by the Guardian's football journalist Paul Hayward. The article relates to football but has such a vast range of cultural references that it is a superb resource for any consideration of institutional content, language and audience. Hayward incorporates a bewildering number of cultural references and elevates the article far beyond traditional football journalism. Hayward avoids derivative cliche. Click on link below:

This article could be compared with any article published on the 22nd June that relates to Frank Lampard's press conference the day after John Terry's 'controversial' comments relating to the England team's attitude towards their coach Fabio Capello. For example, this article is from the Daily Mirror and uses Lampard's comments along with a bizarre rewriting of Joe Dolce's 'Shuddupa your Face' which, i am assuming, is an attempt at humour but appears to construct a crude, lazy and childish Italian stereotype.

These resources may be suitable for any consideration of institution/language/audience across both AS and A2.
