Skyline this is an information panel on the front page that tells
the reader about other stories in the paper to tempt
them inside.
Edition the Guardian normally prints five editions (versions
with some changes and additional late stories) every
night. A system of stars indicates which edition it is.
Headline a phrase that summarises the main point of the article. Headlines are in large print and different style in order
to catch the attention of the reader.
Standfirst block of text that introduces the story, normally in a
style different to the body text and headline.
Byline the line above the story, which gives the author’s name
and sometimes their job and location (known as the
dateline).
Body text written material, known as copy, that makes up the
main body of an article rather than headlines,
standfirst and captions.
Photograph/graphic helps make the page look more interesting, it can add
understanding of a story and/or entice someone to
read the article.
Caption a brief description of a photograph or graphic.
Sidebar this is a panel or box on a page containing graphics or

and breaks the story up into different elements.
Package a group of connected stories across one or many

Levi Strauss - Key Theory 4 - Binary oppositions
We understand something because it isn't the opposite; we know it's day because it's not night.
Roland Barthes - Key Theory 1 - Semiotics
Hermeneutic code - when something creates suspense or mystery
A powerful binary opposition is formed through the solid black background from the Jeremy Clarkson article in comparison the 'Bye bye, Bob' story which is filled with pictures and low-key lighting. This is used to show the controversy from Jeremy Clarkson, making sure the audience knows the tone of the article whereas the other article is more sympathetic.
This specific aspect of mise-en-scene functions as a hermenutic code through the 'Clarkson's n-word shame' makes the audience question why he's said this and if it's really the word you're thinking of.
The conflict created through this binary opposition positions the audience to feel engaged within the story as Clarkson's reputation has been similar to what it is now, so the audience aren't really surprised but yet they still want to read on.
The proairetic code formed by the typeface suggests that there are many stories for the reader to read, keeping them entertained, and that there will always be something for the audience to enjoy.
