QUESTION 2: PAST PAPER 2020

Study Sources A and B. The main story in both sources is about a group of immigrants who arrived in the UK in the 1950s from the Caribbean. They are known as the ‘Windrush generation’. The migrants were led to believe that they had been given UK citizenship at the time. In 2010, after the election of a new government, which was more hostile to immigrants, many of the Windrush migrants were deported (sent back to the Caribbean). The backlash from this led to the resignation of the Home Secretary at the time, Amber Rudd.

SOURCE A: Front Cover of The Daily Telegraph newspaper, 17th April 2018


SOURCE B: The Guardian website, 17th April 2018























Theresa May apologises for treatment of Windrush citizens | Commonwealth immigration | The Guardian


A and Source B cover the same news event from two different newspapers, one print and one online. 

How far do the sources challenge the genre conventions of print and online newspapers? 

In your answer you must: 

  • explain the genre conventions of print and online newspapers 
  • analyse the use of genre conventions in the sources 
  • make judgements and reach conclusions about how far the sources challenge genre conventions.                                                                                                                                                     [15]
