The Daily Mail - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/ushome/index.html The Daily Mail   - when visiting the home page of the Daily Mail, the breaking news headline takes up the entire width of the page, although leaving room for multiple ads. This headline will obviously attract the most attention as it takes up the most room compared to other stories on the page, and it is the first story a reader will see. This is typical of the daily mail as, similar to their newspaper front pages; the headline covers almost all the page.   The Guardian - https://www.theguardian.com/uk The Guardian – The Guardian takes a much more subtle approach at presenting the same breaking news, as the story does not take up as much room as it does on the daily mail website.

I split the sequence into three sections; each section represents a different theme that the show includes. The first section of the sequence introduces the main plot of the show, which is the investigation and tracking down of the infamous Pablo Escobar; we are shown various shots of high tech equipment, diagrams and maps to represent this main story associated around the DEA. We are then shown the next main topic associated with the show, money and cocaine. Already the audience is familiar with what the show is about.

Conservatives The conservatives (or Tories) are a British party of the right wing. For the last forty years, the party has been divided over issues about sovereignty and Britain in the EU. A majority of the part is in favour of a referendum or withdrawal from the EU. But others including industrial leaders are strongly pro-European. In 2016 the referendum for Brexit was held. Two thirds of the party who were right wing and were in favour of staying, whereas the other third – sovereigns and neo conservatives wanted to leave.   The conservative party is made up of local associations, which play a major role in the selection of candidates and appointment of party leader. The importance of this local structure reflects the very old tradition of territorial representation in British politics. UKIP – The UK independence party UKIP is a party that wants Britain to withdraw from the EU. It has little in the way of policies apart from Europe bashing. It only secured...
