  • Summarise the story in your own words: is this is an example of hard news or soft news?
--> This story is about Brexit and how the people who voted to remain in the EU have not received one bit of information about whats going to happen when we leave the EU in next in March 2019. This is an example of hard news because it has to do with current affairs. The new values that can be connected to this continuity because it is an ongoing story.
  • Explain how or why this story appeals to an audience (use media terminology and theory here).
-->  The audience pleasures shown in this article in surveillance from Blumer and Katz uses and gratifications theory. This is because this article provides a lot of information on the ongoing negotiations of the Brexit deals. The news value shown is familiarity because the audience can relate to the story due to the fact that it is happening in the UK. Another news value given would be negativity because if all the cabinet members resign that means Theresa May has to step down. Therefore, meaning someone else has to lead the Brexit negotiations.
  • Comment on the story: to what extent does it reflect the values and ideologies of the newspaper? Is this an example of quality journalism or simply clickbait? 
-->  This reflects the values and ideologies of the newspaper because they make sure we are kept up to date with current affair and politics. This is an example of quality journalism because it provides the audience with information needed and the story is not short or used for entertainment purposes hence the reason it cannot be clickbait.
