The German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung obtained the files and shared them with 95 other media organisations around the world. But the German newspaper is not going to share the information about the source that gave them the files, as it is against the editorial code to share information about your sources.
The files involve taxes about multinational countries, wealthy individuals, heads of state, politicians ad sports star from around the world, including many from the UK.
On Monday 6th November, the main headlines covered leaked documents revealing the financial details of the super-rich. It outlined how many were allowed to keep money outside of the UK in order to avoid paying tax.
The Guardian- political, economical, formal language, left-wing, passive news, socialist ideology, the newspaper is challenging the Queen's morals→ Berliner broadsheet→information seekers→masthead→splash→copy- formal mode of address
↔ANALYSING
Ideology→ SOCIALIST →PRO-CAPITALIST→MAINSTREAMED
The Guardian spent a number of days publishing a series of articles focusing on this 'Paradise Papers' story. The yellow colour linked all these front covers together. → this may have been done to make it shocking to the audience, because it gives more weight to the story.
Free press→freedom of speech- news given from a source. They can publish what they want because they own the newspaper.
PUBLIC INTEREST? ACCOUNT MORALISTIC
The Guardian- The use of negative language is important→ 'controversial'→ 'exploiting'- making the poor look stupid and worthless. This newspaper is being critical about the Queen. This newspaper is also making the Queen look like as if she took advantage of the people in Britain. The Queen is supposed to help people in Britain, but the newspaper suggests that she is taking money from the people who do not have it (exploiting). Not everyone in Britain is going to agree with what the Queen has done (controversial). The newspaper is also challenging the Queens morals.
Uses and gratifications→ the Guardian's audience is mostly upper/middle class readers. They might start questioning what the Queen has being doing.
The guardian uses entertainment through gaining information. For the people who are reading the newspaper, it suggests that the readers find the information entertaining
The yellow signifies something urgent→ such as big news. Bright, pure yellow is an attention getter, it is seen more quick than other colours, the colour yellow is spontaneous and unstable colour, because it is eye catching.
Socialist point of view→ the view of what the Queen did is bad→ the newspaper uses a range of negative language. "exploiting"→"controversial"
The newspaper is challenging how the rich have ways of not paying their taxes, even though they have a lot of money, this make the rich look bad because of their actions. Rich = 'accused'.
The audience are interested in 'soft news' so they are interested in celebrities. The newspaper is all linked to economics e.g. school girl worth '£5m' and Queen dragged into '£10m' tax scandal. The 13 year old actress on the front cover, is represented as a pretty young girl that is clearly popular as she is on the red carpet. Even though she is the youngest female on the page, she is represented as confident and independent.
The Queen is represented as vulnerable, this is suggested by the verb 'dragged' which suggests that one has no choice in the matter. This follows the stereotype of a woman who is typically represented as timid/vulnerable and weak.
The model follows the Male Gaze Theory as she is presented as if she is taking her clothes off, with lots of skin on show, she is representing herself as a sexual object. Looking over her shoulder with a seductive expression.
Media Language→ celebrity as main image, masthead-'newspaper of the year', minimal amount of splash, right wing ideology- headline, tabloid conventions, football pullout, section on pullout. The newspaper uses bright colours to draw people's attention.
Daily Mirror- left- winged tabloid→'scandal'→ making the Queen look critical.
Daily Telegraph- objectivity (no ideology) → being old-fashioned about the way they way they write their newspapers.

Independent- the main headline just tells us facts about the Paradise Papers, there is no ideology that is being used and is the newspaper headline is being objective.
Online News→ elements of how to share the story→ comments that people have written about the story, positive/negative? → the online newspapers will get people interacting and responding about the news story. This is good for the newspapers, as they will be getting a wide range of audience.
The rich should not be held to account for, because the government let what the rich did happen. They did not let people in Britain store money there, so the only thing the rich could do was keep in other countries.
