Newspaper: Trump The Sun

On this front page, I can see the Statue of Liberty  covering its face with the title 'It's president Trump… What have they done?'. This  provides a very good headline for the main image. The line 'How Trump triumphed... and what it means for you and the world' provides a good stapling. the fact that the Tram crash, that killed 7, was treated as a  standalone shows the severity of Trump becoming president and the main demographic of those who pick up the paper: they want to see the main image effecting the world over tragedies affecting our specific country, showing the effect of proximity.The paper shows a negative connotation of trumps victory. This could be because the owner of the Mirror's anti Trump and left wing supporting. The Statue of Liberty covering its face is iconic and a big sign that the newspaper is against Trump being elected. The threshold of this story is astronomical compared to the other stories going on at the day. This is shown by the amount of the screen that the main story covers compared to other news stories. A reason for this reaction could be the unexpectedness of trump becoming president compared to the effect it will have. Another reason behind the main topic of the paper could be the human interest. Humans are more interested in gossip and negative effects on society. They are driven to react to negative news over positive news.  This leads people to want to question if the success of trump was because of people wanting to see the negative aspect or if it was because of the negative candidates they had to chose from, leading them to want to chose a lesser of two evils per say.
