the cover persuades the audience to buy the newspaper and follow the main story by using an eye-catching central image as the main feature and interesting, drawing headings that make the audience curious and intrigued.
it also uses news agenda such as the unexpectedness of the image and story to draw the audience in. it uses personalisation as it expresses the presidency of Trump as a negative thing, linking to its left wing audience. it talks about America as it is considered an elite nation and it has a high threshold in the American legacy. it also uses the proximity of it to draw in the shock of the audience.

the daily mirror is tabloid, meaning it is a newspaper having pages half the size of those of the average broadsheet, typically popular in style and dominated by sensational stories.
It is owned by parent company Reach plc.
