KeY CoNCePT- Narrative

most news reports are structured to start of by showing the attacks and the devastation, they are very informative and contains stats abt the tradegies that occur.

towards the end of the news report they want to have answer, the audience need comfort and a resolution, and that normally where past islamic terrorist links are brought in, and then they link that in with the current attack as a answer.

the audience are position as if they are watching a story or a drama being revealed, every thing is shown in a todorov narrative and with a voice over and in chronological order, with a conclusion at the end.


the typical characters are the villians as the muslim terrorist , they present as the bad people in the story and then we have the innocent west that are being attacked by the villian.

within the narrative, we see a semantic field of words being used, that presnt the genre of islamic terrorism and islamaphobia.

major theme of the narrative is potraying muslim in the worse way possible through use of abusing language and converstaion from muslim and music that fast and dramatic when showing ordinary muslim and in newspaper the narrative's main focus is the language it uses to describe the events and who has done the event.
