Steve Neale: Genre Theory
















to see how The Guardian has evolved over time.


There are examples of different codes and conventions on every front page of newspapers, these include the masthead, skyline, headline, standfirst, byline, body text, photographs or graphics, caption, sidebar, crosshead, pull quote, standalone and editorial. This shows that genre is shared by producers and audience through weekly issues of newspapers. This theory is also represented in films as generic action/adventure films will use Todorov's narrative theory about the sequence of events and Propp's theory of character types. Through the repetition of weekly newspapers producers and audiences become familiar wit the codes and conventions seen on newspaper front pages and throughout newspapers.
