- The online observer has a sense of duty to the reader and the community showing their values and beliefs which are more socially liberal
- you can tell it reflects the belief of equally showing of importance of different thing e.g politics, adverts, hard news...
- the blog also represents the observers interest on internationalism
-share values with the 'sister paper' The Guardian

- keeps up with top news 'coronavirus jabs' and involves all the 'higher priority' news
- includes online and offline information as well as images of all type of people and all races.
Therefore I conclude that, I do agree with this statement as the online observer does clearly reflect it values and beliefs as shown in the representations featured.
