 Audience


1) What is the main readership demographic for The Times newspaper? 

age 37% were 65+ and 83% that was 35+
social demographics; top 2 
ABC1C2-(962)
ABC1(884)

2) What aspects of the front page of the Times CSP edition suggest that their readers are likely to be more educated and interested in hard news rather than entertainment?


can you help me with this one? 

Both the Times and the Daily  Mirror have the same photos but the Time mostly talks about the politics of the event however Daily Mirror talks about the brother having an argument  and talk about Anzac day  which you will probably need to research to find out what is it 

3) Times readers are mostly over 55 years old. Why is this and how is this reflected by the new stories and kickers in the CSP pages we have studied?  

can you help me with this one? 

4) What is the main audience pleasure offered by the Times? Use Blumler & Katz Uses and Gratifications theory.
Surveillance/Information 
"The main reason we read newspapers is to find out what is going on in the world around us.  News, different opinions, information about current affairs."
Diversion/Entertainment
Another reason we read newspapers is for entertainment""
Personal Identity 
A Daily Mirror reader will probably think very differently from a Times reader. Even if a reader does not always agree with a viewpoint the newspaper puts forward, they may still be agreeing with the values being shared.

5) Why might a reader enjoy this CSP edition of the Times? Use Blumler & Katz Uses and Gratifications theory categories and write as detailed an analysis as you can.
