1. ENTERTAINMENT VALUE - 
Focusing on the impacts of a celebrities work, and how it can be seen as 'harming' children. It is entertaining as people interested in the celebrity, or people interested in how music can affect children will be interested in the article. 

2. IDEOLOGICAL REASONS - 
The hypodermic syringe theory can be applied to this article as the ideologies that revolve around Kodak Black's brand and image may be seen as harmful towards innocent children. Swearing; drug and alcohol use; are things mentioned in the rappers lyrics which are widely frowned upon to reveal to young children, as these lyrics may have an influence on the children - especially if influenced by teachers in school.

3. FINANCIAL REASONS - 
The article attracts the artist's wide fanbase which will help to sell the article. Financially, the online site will receive lots of views as people interested in his music, or maybe people who disagree with his music will be attracted to read the article.

4. NARRATIVE - 
The article creates a narrative as Propps character types reveal Kodak as the villain of the story. As his lyrics harm the children(victims) of the class in Georgia, and the mother Crishana Wright is the hero who wants to interfere with this music and change what is happening in her daughter's school. The events result in suspension of the teacher's position showing audiences that actions can result in change, which is the main aim of the article.
Kodak Black is seen at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards last month in California
Kodak Black's (pictured last month) lyrics were featured in the assignment: 'Just bought a brand new chain from Avianne/N***a with attitude but I ain't from Compton/Lil Kodak b***h I'm Polo'd down like Carlton'

1. ENTERTAINMENT VALUE - 
Weddings and engagements are a huge statement of romance, and are always newsworthy. Especially when talking about celebrities like Offset (from the group Migos) and Cardi B, whose music has been taking off(if you'll pardon the pun) recently.

2. IDEOLOGICAL REASONS - 
Typical genre stereotypes are presented in the article, as the man in the relationship gets down on one knee to propose to the female. However, besides this I feel there is a huge binary opposition presented between how Migos member's image and brand of a 'hard rapper' and his soft side of romance, shown by publicly proposing.

3. FINANCIAL REASONS - 
They have reported the article using lots of imagery and emotive language for fans to recognise the celebrities, and notice how great the news is. An image of the ring, captioned 8ct. (carat) represents and mirrors the kind of lifestyle that the celebrities are living which is obviously interesting to fans, and this specific news is commonly interesting for audiences of Daily Mail (young people).

4. NARRATIVE - 
The article creates a romantic love story of the two celebrities. Emotive yet informal language in the headline, "Jesus Christ I'm so emotional" evokes emotion for audiences, while it also represents the stars as human and normal, from experiencing the same feelings we all do. This way audiences feel closer to their idols and personally connected.
