Analysis of Current affairs magazine - The Spectator

 

• The spectator has a colour scheme of red, white, and black. The red is a common theme among current affairs websites as it can be linked to the alert “Breaking News”. The red signifies the importance of these political and newsworthy articles.
• The font used appears to be Times New Roman, this gives the website a sophisticated and mature look.
• The website seems to remain political neutral, however in the past the magazine and website have had a conservative bias. Similar to the NewStatesman the magazine covers have a cartoon drawing and one main headline, making it look more like a storybook than a current affairs magazine, this is different to the sophisticated website, suggesting there are two different audiences, one for the magazine and one for the websites. 
• The home page of the website has plenty of information when you first glance unlike the magazine. The website actually uses normal images instead of the drawings that the magazine uses. 
• The Spectator doesn’t have any social media links on their websites, however, when you search their name you can find a Facebook page with 188,063 followers and a Twitter with 180.5K Followers.
