The daily mail targets its audiences in a very specific way. As you can see from the front cover is talking about the environment and celebrity gossip, clearly they are not interested in attracting people who are interested in hard news. As you can see from the top of the article where it says ‘FREE’ shows the audience that they care about them and they know that the majority who read this newspaper are demographic C-E, so they are promoting things for people to apply for to get for free. The colours used on this paper are very appealing to the readers because they use a variety of vibrant colours.

When I was talking about the soft news all on the front, inside the newspaper I have found a variety of hard news articles which means that they are pulling in people who don’t care about politics and then they end up reading it, and some people end up enjoying it. This is a good way of getting people to read it who are into a bunch of different categories in soft and hard news.

The bold black writing in the middle, takes up the majority of the paper, this is to get the audience involved straight away with the celebrity gossip that is going down in the world, and to push people away from all the stressful hard news that is happening at the moment.
