The majority of newspapers on the 6th of November covered the stories of leaked documents revealing the financial information of the rich. It stated how rich people were keeping money outside of the UK, in places such as Switzerland, in order to avoid paying tax.
The Guardian is a socialist newspaper and covered the story in a negative way. As a newspaper they showed a balanced view point as although they endorse capitalism, they view the uncovered information as a scandal. The Daily Mail juxtaposes this and views the Queen as a victim. We can see this through the usage of ''dragged'' in their headline. As well as the paradise papers story being covered on the front of their newspaper, they also featured Stranger Things star Millie Bobbie Brown, with a story relating to her worth of £5 million and listing her as a ''school girl'' which does not sexualise her and avoids the male gaze.
Essentially, the Guardian only covered stories about the paradise papers and listed various influential celebrities and related them to the scandal. This is due to their socialist ideologies. This paper represents higher class people as scheming and uncaring for the classes below them, especially through the phrase ''exploiting the poor'' which is significant to the reader appeal as the majority of the UK population is lower class. Therefore this would gain appeal as the headline relates to them loosing benefits due to other people.
The use of language is very critical to the monarchy and the upper class (who are labelled the 'global elite') which confirms a socialists readers viewpoint due to the negativity. The story would also appeal to environment employed workers as the lack of tax paying leads to less resources for the country (e.g. the NHS). Therefore this paper may satisfy the target audience as they get a sense of recognition which links to the uses and gratifications theory subsequently.
The Guardian has used colour in this particular story with the yellow highlighting the importance, and therefore strong ideologies, with all the communism scandals regarding the upper class and money. The story even has its own logo of a coin in water, which portrays the sun setting, perhaps somewhere tropical in reference to 'paradise papers'. The headlines are all rather exaggerated which again enforces the left-wing ideology.
The Guardian recycled this story over a number of days and issues. This highlighted the scandal and their ideologies. Over the days, the newspaper enforced their negative views of the scandal by using the colour of yellow and branding the story with a logo of a coin in water, which connotes a tropical scene, and therefore relates to the paradise paper. In the issues, they published in depth research into multiple celebrities such as the Queen, Charles and Lewis Hamilton in order to address their ideologies.
