Semiotics.

We look at how semiotics are used in newspapers in this session. Our newspaper was the mirror and the story was 'GO TO BAIL!'
- Ireland is a friend in need. 
- Difference between Irish and British great? 
- Image is associated with the Irish stereotype? (drinking)
- Colour green links to Irish. 
- 'Hilarious' pun for a title.
- Image makes you draw conclusions straight away (connotes negativity) 
- Sarcastic tone. 
- Language connotes everyday bloke-ishness. 
- Culture code. 
- Tiger to kitten image mocks the country. Connotes they are 'going down the drain'
