The Observer Tweet



The tweet of the observer front page reflects it political, social and cultural contexts in a variety of ways. Observer have presented their political views in the bottom right corner of the front page with a slightly persuasive push to left wing ideas wing ideas. In this case the political issues is about Br-exit, Observer have purposefully made the headline a point from a labour politician, as labour are a left wing party. This connotes that the Observer want their readers to see from a certain view of what they have written about therefore more left wing people read the Observer newspaper.

The Observer reflects social contexts though its representations of a female runner on the front page as well. By portraying a female runner on the page, the Observer show her representing all of the female runners who are strong and independent. Also, the way they have positioned her feet slightly outside the box connotes that she is not held back by anything as the picture is not set to the normal box layout standard.

Cultural contexts are also shown on the observer front page. This can be seen through not only views of white women runners but of Olympic runners of different ethnicity like Mo Farah. This connotes to the Observer's readers that they support a diverse range of background's in their news papers. Mo Farah is originally from Somalia but grew up in England. This shows the Observer respect his strengths in his difference of how he became a runner.
