This is the way things are portrayed within the media...
Britain- website
Image- peaceful, calming, attractive
Words- Enjoyful, positive
Layout- Not too interesting, basic format
The sun cover-
Image- basic, different ages and whats wrong with each person
Words- demoralising, racial hatred
Layout- eye catching as its unusual, simple but interesting
The media can make things look good or bad
Called positive or negative representation
Includes bias, getting an angle on something
People that make the media have a choice in how they wish something to look...
Media texts have to deal with facts or true events which they have to reconstruct e.g crimewatch
Can be different types
Media is like chinese whispers... along the way reality is lost.
Personal taste= peoples opinions e.g. wayne rooney, people may like him for his football skills, others may hate him for his resemblence to Shrek.
The media is never is actually real, it just simulates reality by choosing bits of the truth... how realistic is the text
The media goes through many processes to be made... Whos was involved and how has it changed the truth...
People react to media in different ways
How and why will this be viewed by different people in different ways
Stereotypes are an economical way at looking at britain + present people + things in the media.
