The Onion. I think I kinda want to switch to another but oh well I've already come this far.
Audience-- Younger people interested in news. Draws in the Jon Stewart/Colbert Report crowd.
Purpose-- to interest younger generation with news by putting a satirical/ comical spin on the stories. Purpose is to educate on issues in light, satirical manner. The purpose is to engage the audience in world news by bringing it to them in a funny way.
Author-- the point of view is more liberal. The authors are interested in political "gossip" and national news stories that can relate to a large number of citizens.
Harris Coming to Terms....
-Define the project-- aim is to bring the news to younger generation by means of satire and comedy. method used is comedy and satire. materials are cool images, bold text, use of grids, videos, and funny headlines.
-Determine uses or limits-- can be used to communicate with large portion of younger generation. it is limited because no one will take them seriously since they are the "joke" of the news companies. They are disregarded as childish and silly. The Onion is disregarded by real news companies, and probably disliked by many politicians and celebrities.
